I have an old photo which has been torn in the past, looks like a wedding photo.
I have one side only, off the Jeffries side. It could be the marrage of her first son John Smith to Alice Sellman in 1937.
Has anyone got any ideas on how I can find more out about this photo, it would be very much appreciated

Hmmm,
a 73 year old picture, if they were in their twenties...
they would likely be in their late 90's now.......is it family?

can only suggest researching the marriage,,,,,,marriage cert should give N O K and witnesses......and follow on to descendants...
although I found none born to sellman 1933- 1945


there is a death for a alice smith aged 55 in 1939?........
