The Wexford contingent for this wedding ordered by Mr. John Quigley were a handsome one, well turned out and with a variety of facial expressions. The little girl sitting on the pouffe is pretty as a picture and could well still be alive?

Here is the marriage record of Agnes King's parents in 1919. Her mother being Rebecca Hickey.

So was this at the Poole studio or the Imperial Hotel? You would think that someone would have given the floor a quick sweep!

Two brothers of the groom, back left. A terrible serious looking lot, mostly.

After a bit of effort, this would be the groom's birth record. His mother was Annie Clancy. This is his family in the 1911 census, and the reason I couldn't find him was that he was only born 24 days later...

I would say it was in the Poole studio as the small stool that girl is seated on also is in 4558 and in the background in 3940a. https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia It does look very untidy and edge of carpet is well past it's best. Foreground looks neat and tidy in the other photos. https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] The only adult with a hint of a smile is the brides sister.

Yes it is the Poole studio. The floor was grotty three years earlier in 1946 ! - https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/49722437198/

Quigley is a big GAA name in Wexford, but no hurl to be seen here.

For such a happy occasion everyone seems quite uneasy.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/scorbet I would say that's probably "Askinvillar", which is near Kiltealy in Co Wexford. A good clue that. My aunt would have gone to school with Agnes, My grandmother would have been friendly with the brides mother Rebecca (Becky). Should be able to identify a few others.
