The 5th of January must have been a busy day, as it looks a though four brothers got married at the same time.

Regards, David

I enjoy seeing babies being baptised who then grew up to be "someone".

Henry Ching notes a few more connections:

I was fascinated to read this list of marriages at St John’s Cathedral in 1925. They include:
 
5th January                Frederick Percy Franklin and Gladys Livingston Murdoch (Joan Izard’s parents)
26th September         Benjamin Cutler Randall and Ada Mabel Lee  (Gordon Randall’s parents)
28th October             Alexander William George Herder Grantham and Maurine Samson (later Governor of HK)
19th December         William Henry Peters and Rose Margaret Shea (parents of my wife, Eileen Ching)
28th December         Preston Wong and Phyllis Grace Jan See Chin (Preston Wong was one of the 33 executed by the Japanese on 28/10/1943)
 
Baptised on 1st December was Douglas Percy Franklin, brother of Joan Izard.
