The marriage has taken place, at Singapore, of Miss Wynne Atkinson, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. Atkinson, formerly of Hampstead, and Mr. G. Stafford Whitby, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Whitby of Prince's-avenue. The bridegroom had a successful scholarship career. He took his degree of B.Sc. with first class honours in Chemistry at the age of 19, and he spent several years in the Royal College of Science in research work. Four years ago he went out to the Malay States as chemist to the Societe Financiere des Caoutchoucs. He came to Hull in furlough last year, and visited many of the largest rubber factories in Europe and America, and was in Antwerp only a short time before the bombardment. The bride has been a well known member of the Fabian Society, and also a member of Dr. R. F. Horton's Church, Lyndhurst-road. Numerous presents were received. The honeymoon will be spent on the Island of Java. |
