It’s been a while since I posted about the weddings of Blantyre Folk. Pictured are some weddings of Blantyre people from 1976 and 1977. Know anybody?

Blantyre couple, Miss Teresa Murray, 43 Fernslea Avenue, and Mr James McKinnon, 1 Birdsfield Drive, were married in the town’s St. Joseph’s R.C. Church. (Photo by Hughes, Blantyre).
As always, though these wonderful, happy photos are in the public domain in newspaper records, if anybody pictured wants them removed, they only need to ask.
On Social Media, the following comments were received on Facebook:
