Personally, I don’t think the later photos are the same people as the bride and groom, sorry.
Comparing ears are a good way to begin the comparison and the groom has slightly sticky out ears whilst the photo of George Meredith doesn’t. Also the bottom lip doesn’t appear the same to me.
The bride has a different nose to the last photo of Elsie, I personally think the young lady peaking out on the right hand side looks more like her and from what I can see of the hairline, the chap behind the groom could possibly be George.
Clearly you can both see family resemblances so it must be a family wedding, just not the one you are hoping for.
Just my thoughts.
Thank you for this. I do appreciate it and I am certainly willing to listen to other views about who the photos could and could not be. It's just that the granddaughter is so certain that the groom looks just like her Dad....and the groom married into the family.
The thing is, WHO ELSE COULD IT BE?!! I have run out of marriages and it must be family as all the family are there including my grandfather's mother IN LAW and my grandparents didn;t meet until 1935 earliest. She certainly wouldn't have gone to a random friends wedding.
DIGBY SIBLINGS FROM Peabody Estate, Pimlico.
Walter - died at birth. I have his death cert.
Cecil - died in WW1. Confirmed by his regiment and the war records.
Sydney - married Mary Ann Curd in 1926 - too early for the fashions displayed at the wedding and for my grandfather and great aunt to be the ages they clearly are in the wedding.
Elsie - married 1924 (too early) and 1950 (too late and her mother is in the wedding photo above and shed died in 1946)
Alice - 1928 - too early and her granddaughter says it's defnitiely not her grandparents in the mystery photo
Fred - 1931 married Minnie Hardingham. Too early plus I have a different photo of their wedding and they're wearing different outfits etc
Beatrice - didn't get married til 1970.
Mabel - she was very blond plus I have photos of her first wedding in 1940 and it's definitely not this one and defintiely not her; I have lots of pix of her. Her second wedding was in Texas and none of the family went but they;re all in this photo.
Harold - it's not him. He's on the right in this pic as a guest.
Dora - it's not her. She's the little bridesmaid at the back, confirmed by her own daughter.
I have searched and found no other Digbys at all born to the couple, and none on any of the ER or 1939 reg or anything, either at Peabody Buildings or at 6 Killarney Road.
So you see, I have run out of weddings!
