I think the cross on the white hat on one of the ladies could be significant Sue.

Someone may have written a cross on the hat to identify her.

The chap sat on the floor first row of adults, far right !! with his hat 90 degee out of place  ;D  looks like he's had a real good time and few jars of beer for free.
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Great photo! Are there two brides? There seem to be two identically dressed ladies in white in the front row, possibly two well dressed gents and an older lady in between the couples - she also has a bouquet.  :-\ :)

It's a really interesting photo.  Only seven men but nineteen women (if I've counted correctly, and the person standing at the right isn't a chap in drag!).  I wonder if it's a publicity shot for a theatrical production?  There are many characterful faces who look very comfortable in front of the camera, rather than the scared rabbit look often seen.  The comical elements of the fellow on the right and boy at the front just add to the idea of it being a performance.

If it turns out to be a family wedding photo then please accept my apologies for casting nasturtiums!  They all look great fun  ;)

Heather

P.s.  could the two identically dressed ladies be bridesmaids or is it too early for that to be likely?  Also I think the cross on the other lady's hat looks like a bow rather than a penned mark.

My take on it is, to the left of the bride is her mother and father and next to him the bridesmaid is her sister, to the right of the groom is his mother who appears to be a widow. I think the cross on the hat is a mark made by a pen. None of that identifies who they are but great photograph and characters.
