Lancashire / Ramsbottom (probably) wedding in the 1920s - anyone recognise the couple?
« on: Thursday 10 January 13 22:39 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to identify possible relatives photos rescued from a house in Ramsbottom. I'm completely stuck with this wedding couple - wedding in the 1920's - quite distinctive looks.  If anyone recognises them - or sees a family resemblance I would love to hear from you.  They were possibly mill-workers if the rest of my Ramsbottom/Tottington relatives are anything to go by.

Thanks

I am trying to identify this couple on my family tree.  Any clue to the date please.  Sorry - I know it's scanned in B&W and I haven't got the back...I'm still waiting for my parents to scan in at their end. Thanks.  Debs

I would - but I scanned them in while I was at my parents.  I am hoping that they are going to scan the backs in for me and I will ask them to do it in colour - but I'm a bit stuck with the fronts of the photos now......

Thank you for your help with the previous couple of photos that I have posted.  I have gained access to a selection of old photos and am trying to identify family members so that I can add them to my family tree.  The information that you have been providing has been invaluable. Thankyou.

Thank you for the date - I was hoping for about 1912 to allow me to make some "guesses" about people on the photo. SO 1910 is perfect! Also, thanks for removing the creases from teh photo it has improved it immeasurably.  The photo was probably taken in Lancashire - Ramsbottom.  That is where most of these people came from.  To my knowledge there was never a big holiday in the USA - sadly, they wouldn't be able to have afforded it...

I have the front of the photo and will be able to get a scan of the back over the next few days.  Could anyone have a go at dating this photo please.  Thankyou.

Lancashire / people in the Ramsbottom area approx 1920ish

Probably a bit of a longshot but I have gained access to a range of photos from a relatives house in Ramsbottom.  The lady, Lizzie Smith, lived there all of her life (1890 - ), never married and looked after her nephew, Stanley Robinson, in the family home in Stanley St.  I have been able to identify some of the photos - some are relatives - and there are others that could be relatives but may be family friends. I've attached the first one to see if anyone can help....

Thank you.

I will get that tomorrow - the photo is at my parents house so I will need to get them to scan the back in.  Thanks for the quick response!

Any clues as to the age of this photo would be gratefully received.  It came from the house clearance of an elderly relative - sadly I don't know who the lady is but am hoping to be able to make an educated guess once I have narrowed down the age.  Also, any guesses at the age of the lady would be interesting too.

thank you.
