Date:15th of April 1916

Description:The wedding in April 1916 of Private J. Devaney of the 3rd Worcestershire Regiment to Catherine Hayes of Edgbaston. Having checked the Medal Cards at Kew there is no Private Devaney listed for the Worcesters so perhpas he transferred to another regiment. It would seem he survived the war as he is not listed on the Commonwealth Wargraves Commission lists. The marriage was at the original St Catherine Of Siena RC Church which stood further up on the Horsefair just past where the old Dome II nightclub now stands. The article is from The Weekly Mercury.
