What beautiful wedding photos. :) This one is of my Nan's brother's wedding in 1913, Tom Booton & Clara Ellen Lovell in Stareton. My Nan is the young girl seated at the front (on the left) with a shepherds crook in her hand.
 
This is my Grandparents wedding, Alfred Frank Dolphin & Florence Maud Booton, taken outside Nan's home in Tidbury Green......think it would be 1922.
 
Last one for tonight.....my beautiful parents wedding day way back in September 1949 which means they celebrate their 60th Anniversary this year bless em. They are Thomas Charles Dolphin & Evelyn Chamberlain & the wedding was at the Congregational Church, Small Heath.
 
Baron and Dolphie - What wonderful photos, they were a treat to see.

Dolphie - Congratulations to your Mom and Dad on their Diamond Wedding Anniversary this year!

Love seeing these wedding photos.
This one is from my cousin's album. It is the wedding of William Joseph Spencer and Emily Ellen Wells. They married in Selly Oak on the 19th May 1902, and this was afterwards at 17 Tiverton Road Selly Oak. And the lady behind the groom is Hannah Martin.

What a lovely photo Ann just look at those amazing hats........wonderful!:)
 
Thank you Wendy. Yes, I was taken with the hats as well. I wished I had photographs as old as that in my album. But that's one of the joys of doing other relatives trees. I get to scan their wonderful photos.

Ann
 
Ann, what a wonderful photo......dont they all look so grand in all their finery. Beautiful picture. I'm so enjoying seeing all these photos of all the weddings.:)
 
Have come across these wedding photos. I'm afraid I don't know much about them but here goes;

I have a feeling this is a photo of one of my nan's brothers, so it is either Alfred Heath and his wife Ivy or Frederick Heath and his wife, I think Beatrice. The photographer was an E. May & Co., Artists, 279 Wheeler Street, Lozells, Birmingham.

I have absolute no idea whose wedding this is.

On the back of this photograph the names Albert and Jenny are written.
 
This one is my sister in law & brother in law PEARL (Nee Benton)& GOFF HUMPHRESON Taken at HOLY TRINTY SUTTON COLDFIELD, 4 days before Goff was killed on the landings in Italy.
Only 4 days of honeymoon allowed by the MOD before being shipped out,so very sad. How many poor newley Wed's had to have this thrust up on them in a time of WAR.
 
Some wonderful photograps Jules and Baron. And so sad Baron that he died so soon after his wedding.

Ann
 
Keith and Jules they are lovely photo's and like Wendy said thank you for sharing them with us. Jean.
 
All I know about this photograph is that the bride's name is Margaret King. I assume that King is here married name but I am not sure. My mother is the young woman standing behind the bride. It is probably taken about 1915 or 1916. The final thing is that my mother told me that some years later, one of the little boys sitting at the feet of the bride (I can't remember which one), married the bride, Margaret King.
Of course, I am only guessing, but I imagine that, sadly the bridegroom did not survive the war.
 
This is my Aunt Audrey and Uncle John she was actually Mom's cousin but they were more like sisters. Uncle John passed away a few years ago but Aunty is well and lives in North Wales she will be 91 this year.
