Christmas Day arrivals
Sarah Wigham's baby girl drew her first breath at 12.45 am. But, as proud dad Roger explained, they had not yet decided on a name for their new baby as she was not due until January 5.
Husband Roger, the boss of R & SW Joinery Ltd, said: "I just said to the midwives, if you put a name on a piece of paper and put it into a hat or bowl, we will pick it out – and that was what we did. Sarah picked out Melissa."
The couple were delighted with their choice and decided they would give her the middle name of May.
