Note 4... The wedding notice in The Times on 25 Jan 1930 mentioned only the protestant service; the notice on 18 Feb 1930 added the earlier orthodox service. ...

Note 5... Who knows why: the church wasn’t available; did one convert to the Church of England (both were baptized orthodox); some sort of political dispute in the Greek community?”
