Title: Marriage of Cecil William Lowe and Margaret Ann Thomas, 1917
Post by: Deirdre784 on Thursday 25 August 22 20:50 BST (UK)

Hi, just wondering if anyone can improve this family wedding photo please (Merthyr Tydfil, Wales in 1917).

It’s not my own family but a family i'm helping with their tree. Believed to be the fathers sitting next to the bride and groom and their wives just in front of them. Thanks, Deirdre

A try from me, regards, John.
P.S. A better scan would get you a much better photo.

Thanks John, it was sent to me online and was too big to post so i had to re-size. Not very good at that so don't know if i could do anything better, but these are better than the original.

Thanks Steve. He is my friend’s grandfather too. Can you name everyone (or most) in the photo. If you reply to this you will have posted 3 times so can then use the ‘personal message’ option.

As well as Cecil, his parents, uncle & sisters there is Margaret her parents, and sisters, also close friends from the village.

Hi Steve, i believe i have gone back as far as 3 times great grandparents on the Lowe side, with likely 4 times great too, so wasn’t looking for any particular info. But ….. i can’t see where / how you fit into the tree so i’ll send you a private message.
