Harvey marriage which ended in acrimony? photo torn in half by ?Florence Harvey
Photo of a wedding between one of the Harvey sisters probably Mabel Harvey and the groom thought to be a Mr Aster. Circa 1910.
The photo when found in Florence's photo album had been ripped down the middle
The elderly lady sitting on the left is is Mary Ann Harvey, Florences mother, who later married Charles Henry Langmead.
What happened that caused this wedding photo to be torn in half ?
Did the marriage end in acrimony or did Florence dislike the groom?
Who is the pretty young bridesmaid?
The other elderly woman is Mrs Aster, the grooms mother and the man behind Mary Ann is the grooms brother.
Another photo of this couple, just featuring the bride and the groom, the image of the groom has been scored with a blade!!!

The Harvey children now adults. The mystery history and archive of the Victorian Harveys of Bristol
The photo shows Frederic and Mary Ann Harvey's six children now in early adulthood and elegantly dressed in the style of the times.
It is not known for sure which of the girls are which and it is possible that Marie Louise, the eldest daughter is 6th left next to her young man who is possibly a Mr Jones.
Florence Harvey is the girl 2nd left at the front standing next to Mr Aster.
The young man seated 1st left is Mr Aster who later married another sister Mabel. Mabel is back row behind her brother Frederick Charles.Also at the back the (on the right ) is maud the youngest sister.
I suspect that Florence was once Mr Asters intended....but he preferred and married Mabel. That's why the wedding photo of Mr Aster and Mabel was torn in half in Florences photo album.
This photo is one of several which were left to me by my Great Aunt Winifred Cleaver, who may have been nanny to the Harvey or Champion-Jones family.
I have a collection of Harvey personal documents and photos which will be very precious particularly to Florences' descendants. Seeking Florences' descendants to return the Harvey Family archive for their own family history.
