Agnes Nee Gallagher (Culshaw) is the little girl- Bridesmaid.
The photo was taken by Austin Lyons- The Stidio, 7 Hill St, Ladies Lane, Hindley, Wigan.
I am told the lady is Winnie Colleen, its was a photo kept by my late mother.
Lovely photo
Marriage of a Winifred Killeen and Thomas Lowe on website www.freelancsbmd in Wigan,1952.
I thought the surname should have been spelt Killeen. I knew a girl from St Patrick Street named Agnes Gallagher just a bit older than myself. . I thought the photo was earlier than 1959. I wonder if the bride was related to Bridget Killeen who lived in Vauxhall Rd. She worked at the ROF Euxton I knew her very well. Killeen was her maiden name.
What a beautiful wedding dress,and the little girl looks lovely as well..they must have had wealthy relatives.
I remember the worn down step as well. The church was built in the mid 1800’s. It was always packed to the rafters right up to when I left in 1969. The steps are tiled over these days. I’m imagining all the people who walked over the threshold. Me and my pal used to go regularly to see the weddings and funerals when they came out of church I don’t suppose that would happen these days.
A lovely photo of the wedding scene...Having been a florist all my working like , I would say that bouquet is from the 1940s, few flowers & lots of maidenhair fern, the man's suit too says the 1940s
