Thank you very much :o
I think it was just after WW1 as he was married in 1919 and it looks like he is wearing a wedding ring

It could be earlier as he appears to be wearing the British Derby Scheme armband.

So what exactly was the WW1 British Army Derby Scheme Armband ?
I believe that he was injured in WW1, although I can't find his service records.
It does look like a ring though.
Then again was it common for the groom to have a ring at that time in working class Manchester...

And another.........the ring would appear to be on his middle finger so not a wedding ring. :)
