Dating a photo please - GHH? and Wife
« on: Thursday 04 June 15 21:23 BST (UK) »
Hi there

Would anyone be able to help me date this photo?  The gentleman in the picture died in 1966.  He had three wives, two died young, one in 1902, and one in 1935.  He remarried in 1937.  The photo was given to me, and I was told it was him and wife number two, and I just want to confirm this.  He was 61 when he got married for the third time, and 90 when he died.  (the second wife was 62 when she died).

Thanks in advance.

looks like wedding no 3 in 1937
This post is a natural hand made product. The slight variations in spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no way are to be considered flaws. Unfortunately my preferred method of writing (Parker Quink on Basildon Bond) cannot be used.

Thanks, you got me thinking... :)
Don't know why I didn't think to check age of third wife.  ::)  3rd wife was 44 when they got married, so a good bit younger.  If the photo is 1930's, then I would say surely that it is wife number two, aged around 60?

I agree with Deebel.  I think this is wedding number three dated 1937.

I think it's wedding number 3 too but he looks older than 61...I think this is a late 1940s photo though.

Yep, that ladies' dress is more 40s IMO.

I also think the photo was taken in the late 1940's.
