Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / How is this young bride and can anyone date the photo
« on: Tuesday 27 February 18 04:16 GMT (UK)  »
Have posted this in the Australian section already but am hoping someone is able to date when this may have been taken.  I think it is a bit grand for a war time bride but if the gown was a family heirloom that would make a difference.  It was found behind a photo of a Pilot Officer William Goldman who was MIA over the North Sea 15/11/1941. He was later listed as killed in action.  Love to identify her, have searched for marriages in Australia and UK without success.

I have been through the BMD records for Australia and the UK without any joy.  Just found the newspaper notice re his assumed death 1942.  The is no mention of a wife so it is pure speculation..
He trained in Canada so that is where I'm looking next.  Have no idea re the identity of the young bride.  Can anyone give me some information re her style of gown,  I thought it was a bit too grand for a war time dress but if it was a family heirloom that is different.

A friend discovered this photo behind another photo and is wondering who she is.  Was she the bride of her uncle, William Goldman or is it coincidence that the photo is in the same frame?  William Goldman was a Pilot Officer and was listed as missing over the North Sea on the 15 Nov 1941 along with the rest of the crew on the aircraft he was in.

I agree, you make interesting observations while exploring our past.  How paths cross and recross over time.  We think we live in a big world but it seems we travel in smaller circles than we first credit. 
Thomas Seaton does look like a well respected member of his community indeed.  Need to explore his past further.   Aby

Thank you ever so much for that, I have always thought there should have been more children.  It's sad when they are lost as such an early age.
At 37 yrs is is difficult to speculate what the COD was for George William Seaton, industrial accident? or pneumonia? His father Robert was only 33.  In the depths of winter pneumonia is a contender.
Think I also need to explore the origins of Thomas Seaton from the 1871 census, he was also from Ireland and there were a Robert and a John living at the same address he was boarding at.

I have been looking for additional information re my maternal great grandfathers brother, Robert Seaton who buried at Benfieldside Cem. Conside & Knitsley Co Durham.  It appears he dies 8 June 1891 aged 31 yrs.  Do similar records exist for Benfieldside exist?  His wife was Isabella Baxter, son George William Seaton.  Abygail

Thank you for the input, had put it on the back burner late '14 after being diagnosed with non Hodgens lymphoma.  on the mend so I really need to get back into the history.   Need to pull out my folder re Griffiths family to refresh my memory.
Much appreciated just the same.
