On 11th April 1867 Frederick Arnold married Elizabeth SWAIN at Derby Rd Chapel. This was a double ceremony, as his older sister Sarah married William FROGGATT at the same time. Arnold recalls the event in his memoirs (page 112):

“two large rooms were thrown open; William Taylor, Confectioner provided the breakfast. The company consisted of, besides the immediate wedding party, Alderman and Mrs Swain, Mr and Mrs Bennett, Mr Latchmore, Mr and Mrs William Clark, Mr Froggatt and the members of our family.”

Note that William Taylor, Confectioner, ran a shop at Bridlesmith Gate, next door to the Goodliffe's.
