Who's the bride Peterhead

[genjen]

 OK that sounds  interesting because i have 3 female cousins who are between 7 and 10 years older than me , all sister . I was born in 1954  so does anyone have any idea  of the ages of the 3 youngest girls  ? please

I should say they look about the right ages to fit with your cousins. But would they not be able to answer the question for you? Are you in touch with them?

yes I am the youngest is due down for a visit very soon so will show her the picture and see if she remembers anything if not she can take a copy back up to her  sister in Glasgow

 thank you

[genjen]

Good luck - I hope she can help you. It's always worth 'grilling' other members of the family, especially those who are older than you. You never know what they might remember.

 Strange thing is its me who appears to know more than them, possible due to the fact my grandparents came to live with us in Chester after I started school as my mother could not longer travel and stay for 3months at a time in Peterhead looking after gran as she was bedriden.

 So I spent the most time with my grandparent as a child  and resently was able to prove  some of the storied Grandfather told me about his life because I was given a lot of family papers photos when my uncle Tommy Kelly died  by his abopted daughter . She was so kind and wanted the family history to go back to the blood family one story beign about my grandfather pet monkey  he brought back from one of his tours in the army or merchant navy overseas.  the 3 older cousins didn't know about the monkey  but now I have a photograph to prove it was real and not just a story i was told

here's another  which to me looks like the other end of the hall ? taken on same day.

 if anyone recognised anyone please can you let me know  thanks

I think that both photographs were taken from exactly the same point.

It looks an awful lot like a wedding anniversary photo to me. People generally didn't celebrate Ruby Weddings in that manner, but I suppose its not impossible. The decorations might be a red herring - they may have been put up for another event (in this case the Coronation).

I have just had an email from my cousin ans she has a copy of one of the photos as well but stamped on the back of hers she says  it was a photographer from Edinburgh

  so after both looking at it we have agreed the couple in front sitting down are
Great Aunt Martha daze  and her husband  and possible  their children and grand children

 and her brother Tom Kelly my grandfather

 thank you all for your help

Did they get married in 1903 by any chance?

Matha Daze  nee kelly was in  born1888 in  Lanarkshire.  and  was living in Edinbourgh in the 1960- 1970 possible a lot longer she died at the ripe old age of 102 so I have been told ( a rootschat moderater found when she died for me

 but i know nothing about her marriage  date sorry her husband was John daze

  They did have  children

 son named Jackie Daze

 daughters Louise or louisa  and Bet (which I think may be short for Elizabeth, as Elizabeth  is a name that keeps appearing in the kelly family)
