Title: 1930s or 1940s?
Post by: mrs.tenacious on Sunday 18 August 13 17:10 BST (UK)

If anyone can help narrow it down a bit, it would help with my search to determine my great-aunt's second marriage.

Many thanks  :)

I would guess late 1940s

Thanks granger, I was leaning towards the 40s but it's helpful to get another opinion  :)

Going to stick my neck out here but that car..... flat bonnet, a Lanchester?
They ceased production pre-war but were still around in the 1950's.

Something in the deep recesses of my memory says that, due to rationing, you couldn't get a double-breasted suit during or shortly after the war.  So it would either be pre-war, or a very old suit.

More than likely old car and suit then  :)

Thank you Graham and Hibee, I appreciate your opinions.

After a lot of ferreting I've found the marriage - it was 1948.

So, more than likely an old suit and car!
