Olive Maber, Bristol, Date needed
« on: Monday 04 September 17 21:27 BST (UK) »
Hello! This is a photo of my great- great Aunt Olive 'Doll' Maber. I was wondering if anyone could date the photo at all based on the clothing? She was born in 1919. I don't believe it is her wedding as the gentleman isn't wearing a wedding ring and she married someone else who looked totally different. Could this perhaps be her as a bridesmaid?

This is a picture of a bride & groom surely.
I would suggest 1940's.

Thank you :) so far I know her date of birth and death and her marriage to Albert Donovan but not sure if she was married before. Maybe they were just posed for the camera and he was a groomsman.

That's interesting.
I'll put it to her daughter and see what she thinks :)

The problem is that Olive married a black man and the gentleman in the photo isn't. So I'm not sure if she was married before and divorce or if she was a bridesmaid x
