We spotted about the flower Mckha.
Carol, does the double corsage mean he was a groom?
The photo of a group of men was taken in Blackpool. The man on the far right is my great grandad Thomas Marsh Crossley, born 1886. The man in the middle is Walt Sykes senior, born 1862. He is with his sons/future son in law. The men all seem to have been neighbours and friends though I am not ruling out any family connection as my great grandad was illegitimate. I thought the photo was possibly taken c1923-1924; the men were from Stocksbridge WRY but the studio was Ellis Wolstenholme, Wellington Studios, Blackpool – he had a studio at 3 Wellington Terrace in 1923/4 (he had other studios but the trade directories only mention this address for these years).
I posted this photo on a local forum and was sent the photo of the couple (attached); this is Walt Sykes senior and his wife, maybe taken on the same trip - suit looks the same, and the chair. His wife died in March Q 1924 so it's no later than that.
I hope this can help unravel this!
Just wondering - the guy at the back in the pin stripe suit...could it be the same guy as on the original photo? Hard to tell with the hat on, but the suit looks similar.
