hi there can anyone find the date of this marriage for me please between a Charles Alfred peake and a ruby cope at st lukes blakenhall Wolverhampton. I have been sent a family photo from the day, my great great grandparents are on it and my 2x great nan died later that year in the September so was interested if anyone could look at the parish records for me to find the date. I know it was registered quarter one of 1946.

Hi there my 3rd great aunt clare dursley was married to a painter/artist called Charles William carey 1862-1943 he did some paintings of family members that I have had some sent to me by a 2nd cousin.
I came across this one painted by Charles William carey just named as a older gentleman, I was wondering if it is that of his father in law Charles dursley my 3rd great grandfather, it looks remarkably like my ggrandmother frances b.1860 his daughter.
Charles dursley was born 1830 in Bristol died in 1897 would this painting fit to 1890s?
Due to copy rights I am just able to attact a link to the painting in question but ive attached a coloured photo of his daughter frances for comparison reasons, kind regards
