The Common Room / Re: How to reconcile with the past?
« on: Thursday 04 January 24 09:39 GMT (UK) »The expectations of some that we should apologise for what our ancestors did, the past is history and we cannot change it. What we can do, is to Try our utmost to see that terrible things are not repeated.
We can also recognise that many of the advantages that we have as a society are directly linked to the exploitation of other societies in the past, and that the opposite is true. Apologies for past behaviour are one thing, but it is more important to work fairly with those communities and those parts of the world that are still suffering the consequences of our enrichment at their expense.

« on: Wednesday 03 January 24 08:39 GMT (UK) »My Heritage has given it a date of 1938.Thanks for trying that. The consensus does seem to be around 1940s, so I can use that as a starting point. I'm beginning to think it doesn't show any of my family - perhaps it was a friend's wedding.
add - but I noticed that they'd given a date of 1938 to my grandmother and her friend when we know it was 1942.

Thank you both. That gives me something to work with.
Apart from the groom having a look of Shane MacGowan, it's a mystery so far.

Can anyone suggest a time period for this photo please? I don't know who any of the people are, and a date might help.
Thanks in advance
