Trying to date the attached photos in an attempt to narrow down "who they are" in the family!
The marriage photo - is it possibly circa 1915?
The family group circa 1930?
Appreciate any input.
Thanks

Hi Jayne I think both photos are later than the dates given.The second looks more 1940's/early 1950's to me.

Well...it's possible this is 1915, actually, but there isn't much to date. I'd really like to see the bridesmaids etc.
The bride is wearing a mobcap, which although more closely associated with the 1920s, was around in 1915ish, and it's (thankfully) a subdued low-profile one. Later ones looked like shower caps :P.
Her dress is a full length formal style that wouldn't look out of place in any decade, really.
Second photo, I'd think 1940s.
Cheers,

Photo of the bride looks very much like my mother's wedding outfit - 1931 :)
I'd agree with China on the other photo- mid-late 1940s - but it's just a guess. The doll reminds me of one that we had :)
