Hi again

Thank you for your answer to my questions.  I just hope that someone will see this thread and the photo and recognise something.

I'm wondering if there is anything on her husband's uniform that can be identified.

Nope --the insignias are too small and the position of his body didn't allow for  a good look at  them.  The Army Record's people were most helpful but came up empty.  Looks like the whole search is headed that way.  Oh well---

Have a  good weekend

Could this be the photographer?

another thought you say it was sent to her Aunt, have you traced that line?
as may give some clues with names etc

[quiltlady]

Yes-  the Aunt she sent it to was also my Aunt-  I have been in touch with the Aunt's daughter , my cousin, who passed away last month at age 89.    We corresponded for years.   The aunt passed on in 1974. There is nothing we haven't  missed with the family .
They were Jewish.  I have also tried to trace them through Jewish genealogy  for the  past 10 years.   Nothing ----

So , I'm afraid we are looking at a dead end.  My cousin in NY has every  imaginable resource for tracing at his fingertips.  Ancestry.com was a bust, as well as all of the other  sources.  The  only way is to  trace the bride by her first name , and that would mean finding every British soldier who married a girl named   Eva in that  time frame.  If by some strange reason she changed her first name , then we are totally out of luck.

I think that's very interesting Jaywit .. it might explain her outfit being a cut above the rest. Also might give a clue to the area of registration ?

I don't think there will be as many marriages to check through as you think. My guess is her husband was Jewish as well and if you look through the marriage index on Ancestry.Co.Uk there aren't that many marriages in the right time frame in London where the bride has the given name Eva and the groom has an obviously Jewish surname.

As Boris achieved fame and fortune he used his position to help others, including assistance with the purchase a house in Finchley Road to provide shelter and support for young Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany

Very interesting from jaywit's link. Anyone tried Golders Green?
