Title: Unknown foil/O'Neil wedding group - date please.
Post by: tonyofsplott on Sunday 28 January 18 13:46 GMT (UK)

Can this photo which was found in my late aunty's effects be dated from the clothing please. She was an O'Neill from Cardiff who married a Foils from Co. Cork so those are the two families most likely to be involved.

Hi

I think it looks like 1918-1920.

My guess (before seeing Gadget's more expert estimate) was to say immediate post war to very early 20s; so with the boy at the front you're probably looking at someone born 1910-14.

This has already been dated by Jim as 1919 -early 1920s:

PS  I have found photos via Google Images of wedding groups like this dated 1918

I thought I had seen it before as it looks like it had been restored.

I noticed Tommyfromri on the image, Carol, so looked at previous posts.

Thank you all for your expert replies. It had been restored on the site previously but I lost all my computer records and had to start again. Thanks again. Tony
