Find Ancestors

I remember being told that there was a family connection in Fleetwood- possibly through the Johns ( of Llanddewi Velfrey Pembs). Some information connects a Mary Georgina Munro Johns (nee Gibson) who died on the 14th December 1937. In the 1901 census she is 12 years of age.
I have a beautiful photograph and I would like to establish what the connection is. Can anyone help me please?

This is her marriage:-

How helpful! Thank you so much.
I wonder if anyone can join the dots for me.
I am descended from Daniel and Mary John(Johns) who in the 1851 census were living at Plasnewydd Llanddewi Velfrey. Their daughter Louisa was my great great grandmother.
My mother knew of a family connection in Fleetwood and indeed there is a photo of Daniel - at a guess in his 70's taken in a studio in Fleetwood.
I have found a wonderful studio photo ( again from Fleetwood) of a man and his wife-( at a guess in their 60's or 70's) with 7 young adults ( grandchildren?)- at a guess in their twenties. The young people clearly descend from two if not three different sets of parents but all are expensively dressed and seem at home in their clothing.
The person Mary Georgina Munro Gibson may be among them and obviously there is a reason why the photo was in our house.
I am trying to establish a link to my ancestors and I would be very grateful if anyone could help me further.
With thanks
