Victorian Etiquette in Wedding Phots
« on: Thursday 18 September 14 19:13 BST (UK) »
Attached photograph taken following the marriage of Dora Brock to Edward Noon, Broughton (Hants) Chapel, 1910.

One of the men in the back row is likely to be Charles Morley Brock, younger brother of the bride. 
Does anyone know which one it is likely to be, according to Victorian etiquette?  Charles was killed in action during WW1.

Thank you
LC

Oh my, how fantastic is that Brit2015!  Thank you very much indeed.  I didn't post to get a restore, but am so pleased you took the time and trouble.  Again, thank you.

I was hoping someone might know the Victorian etiquette on who stood where in wedding photos in relation to the bride and groom, but sadly no response.

Regards
LC

I think it is Edwardian rather than Victorian  ;)  Victoria died in 1901. 

Don't you just love those huge Hats.  Wouldn't want to be behind them at the cinema though!  ;)

China might be around soon - when she wakes up - she loves huge hats - and Jim might drop in with some words of wisdom on etiquette  -  When he gets up.


- but I don't know the answer to your query!   Sorry

Nice work Brit.

Yes, of course it's Edwardian, Wiggy - the fingers racing ahead on the keyboard with the mind on something else no doubt!

Cheers

Well the Edwardians really went to town on their fashions didn't they!  Talk about OTT!!     ;D

Hi again ...  I'm thinking that if the bride's father is standing behind her, then her brothers are on either side of him, making the bride's family on the left and the groom's brothers and father on the right !  Just a thought

Agree with Brit.  The man on the extreme left is not wearing a flower in his buttonhole
so perhaps not a close family member unless of course the bride had 2 brothers!
Think it is likely to be the young man standing behind the groom who would have served
in WW1.

Jen.

Thanks folks! You are all very kind.  It was just to get an image in my mind of what Charles might have looked like.
