Can anyone please help date this wedding photo? Possibly the Gates Family?

[Rokkonz]

Hi,

Can anybody please offer me possible dates for this photo? I believe that it could possibly be my 3x great grandparents who were married in 1853 in Brighton, Sussex, England.

If the photo seems like it is from 1870 or later a secondary location could be Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand

Any help would be much appreciated,

Richard

Hi, Richard,
Bringing your photo up the board might attract the attention of the dating experts.
In my not-so-expert opinion I think it is a much later picture, possibly 1907-1912 or something like that... but I've been known to be seriously wrong, so hopefully an expert will come along soon.
Meanwhile I've given your picture a tidy.

Definitely not 1853, and almost as definitely not 1870s.

  More recent is my guess . . . . .think Peter could be closer to the date.

Start looking for new contenders.

No expert - my immediate impression was Edwardian. What a beautiful dress,

mid 1900s - say 1903-1906

The collar of the bride's dress is very Queen Mary style, but this is before she was Queen.
