From British Newspaper Archive: Reynolds's Newspaper Sunday, 29 August 1909 Page 4 Sorry for A Blessing: Sequel to the Hon. James W. H. Gully's Re-marriage

With reference to the re-marriage on Thursday, 5 August 1909 of the Hon. James William Hershell Gully, the eldest son of Viscount Selby, which was reported to have taken place at St. Paul's, Onslow Square, an interesting sequel has occurred. It will be remembered that the decree nisi granted to the Hon. Ada Isabel Gully on the ground of her husband's desertion and misconduct was made absolute earlier than usual in ordinary cases for a reason which had been put before the Judge. That was on Saturday, 31 July 1909 only a few days before Mr. Gully's re-marriage.

The Rev. Prebendary Webb Peploe is the Vicar of St. Paul's, Onslow Square, and the publication of the circumstances of the wedding appears to have been brought to his notice, for the Rev. E. S. Buchanan, curate of St. Paul's, has sent a statement to the "Church Times," in which he says:

"The marriage did not take place at St. Paul's, Onslow Square, but at the registry office of St. George's, Hanover Square. After the marriage the bride and bridegroom came to St. Paul's and received a blessing from one of the curates. The blessing was given without the sanction of the Vicar, who was in Switzerland, and he has written to me expressing his sorrow that it should have taken place.

In the name of the Vicar and his clerical colleagues at St. Paul's, I now wish to express sincere regret of an action which, had the facts been known at the time, would never have occurred."
