| Admin History | Edward Mason Wrench (1833-1912) and his cousin Annie Eliza Kirke (1831-1920) were married in 1861, strengthening further the link between the two families. Edward M. Wrench was the son of Thomas William Wrench (1805-1875) and Diana Maria Kirke (1810-1876). Annie was the daughter of William Kirke (1799-1843) (brother of Diana Maria) and Ann White (1807-1874). Both families used the firm of Brooke Taylor, solicitors of Bakewell, Derbyshire for the management of their legal affairs.
See the fonds entry for the Wrench Collections (Wr) for more details about the family. |
