Hidden in a photo frame #FamilyHistory

Picture
This photo stood on my grandparents sideboard throughout my childhood and beyond. My mum is the bride and her father is escorting her into church. September 2nd 1950 at the parish church in Royston, South Yorkshire.
The picture turned up again in the box of photos I mentioned the other day.
While I was admiring the frame and reminiscing about it’s significance, I realised that the reverse of the photo seemed to be wedged with papers. So I very carefully prised open the clips to find a piece of brown wrapping paper and these three photos hidden behind the wedding photo.

What a find!
But no indication as to who any of these people are.
I’ve compared them with other likely photos but so far can’t see any matches.
​Probably another family history brick wall unless I can get copies to a very elderly aunt who may know (and more significantly, remember) who they are.
Thanks for reading my blog today. Don't forget to check out Book of the Day before you go.

    Cathy Murray

    For over thirty years Cathy Murray worked in British primary education as a class teacher and then as head teacher of four different schools.
    She retired early about ten years ago and has developed an interest in e-publishing as well as writing. In addition to her own books, she's published several novels written by her husband, Michael Murray. These include the best selling detective novel "A Single To Filey: a DCI Tony Forward novel".
    Cathy is a passionate family historian.
    When not writing and e-publishing she enjoys reading, gardening, country walks, music, films etc. A diagnosis of advanced colorectal cancer in mid-2017 was followed by 30 months of chemotherapy and two major operations in 2020. Our wonderful NHS put Cathy well on the road to recovery and she hoped to be cancer free for many years to come. She is everlastingly grateful to her family and friends, especially her husband Michael, for their love and support. Unfortunately, Cathy is receiving chemotherapy once again. She will write more family history blogposts when she can. ​
