Template:23 October

23rd October 1963: Jerry Booth and Myra Dickinson marry at St. Paul's church, Weatherfield. Dennis Tanner is the best man. The couple met less than two months ago but typist, her eye on 13 Coronation Street, pushed Jerry into marriage. Jerry had doubts but put them aside for Myra's sake. They bought No.13 for £525 and took out a mortgage. Although the wedding is an unqualified success, the marriage is strained by money problems. Jerry struggles to make mortgage payments and Myra frequently overspends on hire purchase. In 1964, overwhelmed by debt, the Booths move in with Myra's father.
