Title: Dating help for Langton wedding photo, Acton, Middlesex
Post by: Maxima on Wednesday 15 July 20 08:50 BST (UK)

We would like help dating this photograph of one our family lines. It isn't in great condition, but if anyone can help narrow down a time frame it would be great. The photo was taken by a photographer (C.R.Skelton of 50 Avenue Rd) in Acton, Middlesex.

Late Edwardian at least.
So I would suggest 1908-12.
Have to say if that's the groom sitting next to her
he looks a good bit older so maybe a 2nd. marriage for him.

Thanks for your help Jim, that's roundabout what we were thinking but we weren't too sure.

Yes, we were thinking that the groom looked quite a bit older. We did wonder if it was another family member but they have their arms entwined!
