Thanks for that, if it was before 1944 then at least we can narrow it down a little.
The Jewish connection comes mainly from the photographer used. He does appear to photograph mainly Jewish weddings, and of course the OP said Eva was Jewish.
It is just a better scan we need plus information on Eva's age etc to help us along.
I agree about the dress, I suspect in close knit communities like London Jews wedding dresses were passed around at that time and I would guess it was originally a pre war dress.

Think I've got it-

I sent this as a jpeg file --I got a message that  there was an error.  The reason given was it was an etm. file That's not how I sent it.  Don't know what to do now.  The original is clearer, but don't know how else to send it.

Hi Sara

I got the photo. The .eml is an email attachement file. I managed to open it in Outlook Express of all things and then saved the attachment as a jpg.

 It's very small as it is and won't give anymore information than the one you've put up 

I've attached it here to see if anyone might have some enlarging software.

Would it be possible to get the person who sent it to you to scan it again at a much higher resolution - say 600-1200 dpi?

I will try something else that may send it larger.  The photo was sent  to me by  the cousin of the bride--it was the only contact she ever had with the bride.  The photo was sent to my cousin's mother and she put it in her box of family snippets.  When the Aunt passed on in 1974 my cousin took her mother's box of memorabilia.    She went through it but didn't pursue any method of contacting the bride or her  family  because there was no information about them anywhere.

 They became our ghost family.

I know you've tried a lot of these, but the following link is to the links page of the the London Jewish Museum:

The only way we will get any further with the photo is a close up on his left upper arm, but tbh I dont think the position he is stood in is going to allow anything definitive.

Had a go at enlarging using "Genuine Fractals". Unfortunately it was no better than the one you enlarged to compare the badge on the pocket.

Sorry about that- I guess enlarging won't  be possible.

Hi Sara 

The only way to get an enlarged view is to re-scan that area at a high resolution - say 300-600dpi.  Otherwise, all we're doing is blowing up a blurry picture and that just makes it more blurry.  The software that Pels uses can sometimes yield good results, but obviously not in this instance.
