Wedding Photo August 1936 in Northfield.

This is a stab in the dark.
The attached photo is of my parents' wedding in St Laurence Church, Northfield in 1936.
The two married are Albert Philip Nicklin and Maud Hodgetts.
Does anyone recognise any of the other people in the photo?
I can guess at one or two but any names would be welcomed.
Hopefully someone out there can name a few but it is a long time ago!

Interesting photo. I don't think that somebody recognises any of the other people in the photo.

Welcome to the Forum, Troyara.

The problem is that I can't think of a single wedding photography company that is still in existence 84 years later. Many of our ancestors used people like, Harold Juggins or Jerome, but they are long since gone, and are the subject of varying specialist threads on here.

Unless someone recognises a person from one of their own family photographs that is named, I think that Florna is sunk!
My own wedding took place in 1962 and I would be hard-pressed to put names to more than a dozen of the people on the photographs.

Same here Maurice although I do recall we used a company named Heaths of Ward End.

Jim,

I think the problem was that all records were destroyed when the businesses ceased trading. The only exception I can think of was Friths, whose business & stock of photographs - nearly all places rather than people - were bought out and are now a profitable company.

But when you think of the thousands of studio photographs that Jeromes alone must have taken. Storage space of negatives alone must have been huge. Even Birmingham Archives would not want to know about such specialised records of members of Joe Public.
