My advice....don't give up! Keep looking and keep going back to it! I've been able to ID photos after 20 years of looking at them, after spotting some detail in another photo, or even a newspaper announcement clipping that refers to what was worn at a wedding. I recently made an ID by an Auto Club badge on a car in 1930's Hong Kong....so keep at it. If it was important enough for him to keep all that time....it means something! Good luck!  :)

Not necessarily Ruskie...It maybe a postcard in which case there wouldn't be photographer's name on it.

Maria,

If this photo took pride of place in your father's bedroom then you would assume them to be close relatives. The photo is earlier than 1939 so not your father's sister.

Might they be your father's parents? When and where did they marry? There is not always a resemblance in families. :-\

Hello everyone who is helping out here and than thanks for Ruskie's wise advise. I don't think this is my grandfather's first wedding as he married my grandmother in Birmingham in 1899, however it just dawned on me today that perhaps it could be his second marriage which took place in Olton in 1919 ??? I'm attaching a picture of my grandfather with his second wife in Torquay in 1941 to see if you can see a resemblance? My grandfather would have been 40 years of age at time of his second marriage and his wife Florence would have been 29.
Thanks again.

Pity they are standing the other way round! And the bride looks so coquettish....

Does this help?

Sorry but I'm not convinced that they are the same couple  :-\

That's a great job Josey, thank you very much. The man in both pictures have big ears, an outstanding feature in some of the males in my family. Does the Groom look to be about 40 years and the bride about 29-30? Looking at both pictures together the noses on both pictures are very similar for both of them, am I right? The difference in hight appears to be very similar en both pictures also?

Attaching another picture of my grandfather in 1901 when he was on his way to the Boer War, the quality is very bad as it is only a photocopy of the picture, he would have been 22 years.
Many thanks.
