This photo was found in my late father's collection. All I know is that my grandad Francis Morgan Taylor and my grandma Alice (nee Rigby) are back left and front left respectively. They lived at Malvern Crescent, Spring View. Does anyone know any more details of the bride and groom or recognise anyone ? It must have been taken before 1958 as that was when my grandma died.

Hi Graham can you send me a bigger scan of the photo. I may be able to help with some information. Send it to ron@wiganworld.co.uk

Just has some info. from my friend who's mother and dad are on the photograph.That the groom, who appears to be in uniform, could be Ken Alker who was in the Royal Marines and his wife is Elizabeth Taylor. Date could be about 1950ish? but my friend would need a bigger photograph to be able to recognise any other people

My friend has told me that Elizabeth Taylor is still alive She lives in Eccleston. Made a mistake with the date... Could be 54/54. If she is the girl being held by her mother, Ivy Gregory.

Thanks Ron,

My grandad died August 1955, so 54 sounds about right. If I'm right Elizabeth Taylor is my dads cousin and the daughter of George Arthur Taylor.

Hi Graham, Change of date again<g> c.1952ish. When I get the large scan of the photo. I'll take it to my friend's who will no doubt be able to name most of the people. She said she will also try and contact the 'Bride' i.e. Elizabeth Taylor
