Is there someway to find a wedding through the names of witnesses. I have a wedding where my grandparents, father and uncle are in the formal picture as well as my husband's grandparents and father, and our mutual ggrandparents and aunt. Our great uncle is the best man. The wedding took place in the JUn Qtr of 1920. I have no idea who the couple is but the groom seems to bear a resemblance to my grandfather - So is there someway to find it through the witnesses? My great uncle had a very distinctive name

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

The family lived in the Woolwich/Bermondsey/ Camberwell area. Both my grandmother and my husband's married in St Bartholemew's Camberwell. But that doesn't guarantee the wedding was there. My grandparents emigrated to Canada in July 1920 and because of the age of the boys it must have been very close to the time of emigration. My g-uncle's name was Albert Andrew Pepler and he remained in that area until he died.
The thing is there are so many churches around there that I was hoping there was someone to check witnesses on the civil list. Since the entire family is present, I would assume that it would have been easy to get to from where they lived.
I'll put the picture in the lost and found folder

Only if someone has compiled a list of Witnesses. I have a list for Halesowen Parish but that is only up to 1837. HTH from linell.
