Who's the bride Peterhead

[leanora]

This family picture looks like a wedding to me . I can pick out my gandparents  and  im 99% sure that the 2 elderly people siting are my great grandmother  with my great grandfather  but not 100% sure about him.

 anyone like to take a guess at who got married  ? we cause i cant see anyone who looks like the bride but 

[leanora]

 if anyone recognised anyone please can you let me know  thanks

Hi Leonora

Just a suggestion - but instead of a wedding could it be a celebration of something like a confirmation/first communion to a church? The three young girls are all wearing lovely dresses and look as though they're about the right age and as you say, there's no obvious bride or groom.

Just a thought!

My thoughts as well.  Reminded me of photos of my sisters.

The hall is decorated with bunting and union flags. One of the girls is wearing a tiara but the other two are not. Could it be a 1953 coronation party with a 'Queen' as in a May Queen celebration, with the other two being her maids of honour - or whatever they would have been called?

my grandfather was Thomas Kelly married to Williamina  (  called Mina by my grandfather nee Barclay) great granmothers name on my mother birth  cert was Jessie Cassie but according to  my grandparent marriage cert her father was James Barclay not sure how grandmother  became Cassie.

 When my parent  married my grandparents address was  D1 Prison Quarters Peterhead ( much to my mothers embarrassment ).

But my granfather was not  a prison warder he worked for the Admiralty  and was working with the divers building the breakwater in Peterhead with his son Tommy Kelly who was a diver.
 My grandmothers family originate from Peterhead but my grand fathers family came from Banff  Larks.

  I though it was a wedding due to the flower some are wearing.


 But thinking about it I wonder if  this was taken in the prison warders club attached to the prison in Peterhead ? I vaguely remember the bar there  but not sure if they had a function room

Tomas kelly  working with divers on breakwater Perterhead hes the one in the middle of the 2 divers

 and just for a little  bit of extra about Peterhead . My father was one of the Royal Engineers who clear all the mines from the beaches there   after the 2nd world war so when you walk on the beach at Peterhead remeber my father  helped make the beaches  safe  there

I could be wrong but perhaps it's a golden wedding celebration, especially as the elderly couple are in the centre of the photograph.
