Finding the original photograph
« on: Monday 26 February 24 09:49 GMT (UK) »
I am reasonably sure that the picture from which the image in the link was taken proffessionaly and published somewhere locally.

What is on the sash she is wearing? What year is that? Check newspapers for that year and the organizers of what ever the event was. She is wearing summer clothing in a known year, I think that they are two good leads.

I have searched for some time but am certain that it must be out there somewhere.

I do not have the expertise to find it. Hence this post.

I think the sash says, “Miss Windsor 1945”. Perhaps the local paper in summer 1945 would help.

Try Windsor Ontario Canada. They still have a Miss Windsor contest. Their newspaper appears to be available on Ancestry (the full version)

It was definitely Windsor Berkshire.
But, as the man who I suspect is the reason for the image being closely cropped was an RAF Bomber pilot that trained in Canada in 1943 I suppose it may have been published in the Canadian press.

I am sure this image is different to the one in op.

I have had a try with Google images think that there may be a way of limiting the results to 1946.

Any idea of what the name of the vicar is?  It looks like it may be Marr but I'm not sure.

She wouldn't be wearing a Miss Windsor sash if it was a wedding.

I have trawled the Berkshire papers for 1946, looking for both Miss Windsor and Freedom of Clewer Fete without success. Someone else may like to have a go and see if I have missed anything.
