Hi Mark

Wow  :D :D :D what a beautiful wedding dress & thanks for posting it.  It gives me some idea of what my ancestor might have worn on her wedding day in 1780.  I see that it wasn't white as is the case with many weddings today.

I wonder when white originally became fashionable for a wedding?

Hiya Jason, I'm sure someone much more knowledgeable than me will be able to tell you, but the second dress, also not white, was from the early 1840s. So I guess they started to appear some when after that, possibly in order to to fit in with the Victorians puritanical view of the world?  :)

Aren't you the lucky one Markpy. After 3 frustrating years  I can't get past my Fathers Folks on my Paternal side, have had a bit more luck on the Maternal side, but as they say one must "keep on keeping on"
