A wonderful #WeddingDay pic, found at #Matford #Exeter Late 1940s, after #WW2 Beautifully hand tinted, they look so happy 💒🌸 #OldPhotos No clues to identity them, but Does anyone recognise them? I would love to know who they are! #FamilyHistory

🎭Love this pic!🎭Dated Mar 1938. From #Matford #AntiquesFair last week. Theatrical costume, not ordinary clothing. Was she a stage performer/chorus girl, or cabaret entertainer/posing for a fancy-dress event/costume ball, popular in the late 1930s?🎭 #OldPhotos #FamilyHistory

I had no idea that Ada was an actress when I bought the CDV. I seem to be drawn to the theatre this year! #OldPhotos #FamilyHistory #America #London #Theatre lynnswaffles.com/2025/10/16/m...
