Hi,

I know absolutely nothing about this photo or the people in it. It's a scan that was emailed to me so I can't tell you anything about the photo itself either, I'm afraid. Thanks very much in advance.

The one interesting thing I noticed earlier, is the colour of the grooms hands (he's been cut out of the photo along with two or three other people I'd imagine), his skin seems very dark - no?

I am wondering if the groom is wearing gloves....?  The tiny bit of his head which can be seen doesn't appear to match the colour of his hands.

Hi jemhay

Yes the groom and some others are wearing gloves 

The photo dates to around 1910 or so, I think.  You will get that narrowed down or corrected when the experts come online 

Cheers

The date's about right but I'd go a bit earlier in the decade at around 1905.

Loved that link Sylvia,heaps of info.I wonder if this particular marriage had a messy ending,definately seems to have been some snipping.

Thanks so much everyone! 

Greensleeves: I wasn't sure about the gloves - his hands looked too well defined to me to be in gloves, but I see what you mean about that tiny sliver of his head - even that looks a little darker than the other folks skin tone from what little is visible.

Prue and Jim: Thanks for the dating - very helpful, now I can go have a look to see who 'fits' age wise and married around that time.

Sylvia: Thanks for the link - fascinating stuff. I LOVE old photos!

Seoras: My cousin suggested the groom was maybe cut out for a locket, but that's just conjecture.

glad to hear it jemhay,that is a much better notion than mine.
