    I`ve not touched the surface of the pics from the chest, here`s a selection of weddings, Edwardian era
    Some of these photo`s are as large as my scanner bed.

    This one is taken in British India, the dog looks interested.:D

    Daddy was a Sir, a GBE Knight of the Grand Cross, wish I`d found the medal, that one is around £6k

    I rather love the moustaches all men wore then:pompous:
    Much less the look given to the maids by these veils, specially on the young girl on right in the pic where you found the groom...:bucktooth::hilarious:
    That's a wonderful lot to explore, I wish you finally find the Grand Cross;)

    No, the man in the wedding pic died in 1935 in the British Embassy in Dar es Salaam Tanganyika.
    Its his daughters house, but she died 3 years ago.

    I assume no other relatives that are interested in any of these treasures? Has the house say empty & untouched since she died?

    I no longer want to visit England to go to AF's shed. I want to be Davey's helper!!! :smug::smug::smug::smug: My favorite part of finds like he is pulling out the chest is the research. :D:D:D

    There are only two left, Husband of the lady that died is elderly and in poor health, he`s moving from a 6 bed home with indoor swimming pool to a one bed apartment, he realised he had to be brutal downsizing and get rid of stuff.
    His daughter was recently killed in a car crash and his son lives away.
    They have had a lot of inherited wealth but not much luck.
