Date for this wedding please
« on: Monday 01 January 24 09:18 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone suggest a time period for this photo please? I don't know who any of the people are, and a date might help.
Thanks in advance

Mike

My guess would be early 1930s.  Would that fit anyone??      :)

I think 1930s too, possibly later 1930s. Internet searches show similar styles of wedding attire from the 30s.

I originally thought 40s because it doesn’t look like the typical 30s women’s clothing, but 40s didn’t seem quite right either.

I hope you can work out who they are Mike.  :)

Added: further image checking shows some 40s weddings which look similar as well. Though only the lapels are showing, the women’s coats back left in your photo have a 40s look to them.

Thank you both. That gives me something to work with.
Apart from the groom having a look of Shane MacGowan, it's a mystery so far.

My guess would be 1940s, most likely after the war as there are a few men attending.

I have a photo of my aunt in June 1938, at age 8, wearing a remarkably similar bridesmaid dress to the young girl on the left hand side.

It reminds me of a photo of an uncle's wedding in 1942. He was in the army but was wearing civvies. Also one just post WW2 of a cousin's wedding which has many bridesmaids and family.
