Most barrels in the early days used wooden hoops, Steel came much later, The barrel was the most common method for transporting goods of all types around the world, The making of wooden hoops was big business,

South Africa / Gill and Hunt marriage 1892 to 1901
« on: Saturday 19 March 11 21:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
    Can any one help in finding a marriage of a Charles Sydney Gill to an Annie Hunt, Charles worked for a water company and Annie was a teacher, Charles moved about so I don't have a location for them,
the marriage took place between 1892 and 1901 give or take a year, unfortunately thats all I have,

Charles died in WW1 around 1917-18

Thanks very much, Ron....................

Hi back again,
I have another picture of the wedding,
we are trying to fit a story to the pictures, could this wedding have taken place in 1929 ?
Because the same man getting married in the first picture is older in the second studio picture, could it have been taken in 1935-6 ?

keep in mind the sudio picture is of a family who were woodmen living in the country (Trellech Monmouthshire)
