May Digby wedding photo from 1940- can anyone make it into colour?
« on: Saturday 08 August 20 10:20 BST (UK) »
Hello,
This is my great aunt marrying her first husband in 1940. A wealthy wedding the marriage certificatr states he was in the costume industry, hence I think he was able to lay his hands on the amazing material in the bride's dress.

Would anyone like to have a go at putting into colour pls?

Many thanks in advance.  :)

I know - and she came from a poor working class background.

This was her first husband.

She then met another wealthy man and sailed on the Queen Mary across to the USA to marry him. (not sure what happened to first husband yet!)

Well if they lived in London I suppose that would be where to look, a mod or one other RC might suggest elsewhere

Happy hunting
