A possible date please for Marian

[BumbleB]

If it's the right one - 17 April 1919.

 Could this be a communion photo for the 2 older girls?   There appears to be tulle/veiling across the
 right arm of the girl on the right perhaps attached to the cap at the back.  The added vests are
 interesting as they are only worn by the 2 older girls - some religious significance perhaps?

Thanks for the suggestion aus*jen but I'm not convinced - reason being that as well as being from two different families they were also of different religions.  My mother being brought up CofE and her cousins brought up as Baptists.  I do think that the girls were bridesmaids or flower girls at an aunt's marriage in 1919.

C of E confirmation would be 12-15 normally so 1st communion would be after that and thus not likely.

I would say that bridesmaids in April 1919 is correct.

I think I was about 14 when I was confirmed.

Thank you.

  Thought it was possibly a communion if Catholic as 1st. communion was always at 7-8 years and 
   made before Confirmation at age 13-14.  BB has stated that religion was not Catholic.
