Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Wedding atire, 1932
« on: Today at 11:49 »
Hi everybody,

Now that I can finally get back into RC, I'll fill you in on some details.  ;D

The photo is 12.5 x 8 cm and is in postcard format. The name of the photography studio is clearly visible on the back.

Most importantly, there is a date on the back - one year before Nan & Grandad were married. So I think we can assume that this was probably their engagement photo.

All the best,
Karen

@J.J.

I'll have to ask my brother. He has the photo.  :)

There was a great depression in the 1930s so there wouldn't have been much money around. They could have borrowed or hired the outfits for the occasion.

Very true!

You are right - a big wedding is no guarantee of success!  ;D

I do like the photo.  :)

I think a lot of us were having trouble with the Database Error message !

Certainly sounds that way!

Let's hope they have fixed it and it keeps working...

Was also locked out until last night...Really got a kick out of the instruction to report the error, though...when it's not a plausible option if it's impossible to enter the site!

Exactly!  ;D
I tried everything...
Let's hope it keeps working.

All the best,
Karen

Hi everybody,

After days of being shut out due to "Database Error", I am back in! Yay!  ;D
Thanks for all the replies.

Firstly, that's a good point re: flowers/buttonhole. Maybe it was their engagement photo.
(It is a lovely photo, isn't it? :))
The wedding was in a Register Office.

As for the other comments: I was born in 1964.  ;D

Thanks again!
Karen

Interesting! Never heard of a Beano before!!! Noted the range of headware...& the number of men smoking.
   re: site issues... I've often have messaged people that their notification may have turned itself off when the site got busy! (Most often the reason, as they'd not seen the replies)  Twenty some years ago it was just that the site was so popular & busy with requests!!!

Hi,

I was receiving E-Mail notifications, but couldn't even access the threads via the links in the E-Mails. Well, most of the time. And then RC shut me out completely. Whatever I clicked on, it just said "Database Error".
I couldn't log out, either.
I contacted the website via Google, left a message, and hey presto! Today I'm back in. I didn't get a message or E-Mail to say what had happened, but the main thing is that I'm back in.  ;D

@Ladyhawk:

That all looks interesting! Thanks very much indeed. I'll pass it on to my brother.

Sorry to have taken so long to reply, but RC shut me out - Database Error. I was only able to access a limited number of threads, and then it shut me out completely. Seems OK today, though, thank goodness!

Best regards,
Karen
