- Guesses at the people in the Wedding Photograph:
The couple in the middle are Robert and Phyllis.
Next to Robert is Lancaster, next to Phyllis is George - the fathers.
Next to George is Lancaster's wife Mabel Plumb. The woman in the corresponding position next to Lancaster is too young to be George's wife Ann Cameron - we'll get back to her and the boy she's holding later. That covers the mothers.
The man standing behind George is very like John Edward, so the other chap at the back must be Peter - the grandfathers (and themselves brothers).
The women sitting with (probably) husbands at each end would be matrons of honour - I expect they are Robert's sisters, Francis and Ethel. Phyllis didn't have any siblings.
The women standing at the back are probably cousins. George's sister Winifred married Lancaster's brother Whitelaw, so their children would be cousins of both the bride and the groom.
That leaves the woman and boy next to Lancaster. This is pure guesswork. George's wife might have had another daughter then a son then died (perhaps at his birth). The daughter might act as a mother to the boy, which would explain her protective stance.
The girls in mobcaps are pretty generic, though the older one who considers herself much too old to be classed with these babies, looks as though she has character. The two in the middle are trainbearers - they are still carefully clutching the bride's train. The other two have baskets - probably of rose petals or confetti.
The girl in a different outfit is probably the child of the couple nearest to her. I wonder why she was not a bridesmaid - maybe she refused wilfully as small children are wont to do - that's why she looks so sulky - she has realised that it would have been nice. Maybe that's her elder sister next to her, who was forced to take her place, wishing she was in more grown up clothes.
