Looking at the headwear on the bride (?) - the way they are sort of curved around the head with the band type of thing round the forehead, I would be tempted to say the 1920s. (It would depend on how wealthy they were and how far they could afford to be up to date with the latest fashions, too, but it certainly looks later than the 1910s to me.

I notice the dress worn by the lady in white is quite long, and I think skirts started to go up to calf length during the 1920s so it could be early in the decade.

Edit - the above relates to the first picture listed.

2nd picture - about 1910? I think it is the first decade of the 20th century, although the waistline on dresses had gone up a little higher than the natural waist by around 1910. (If you can find a picture of Audrey Hepburn in the Ascot dress from My Fair Lady, that was around 1910 and has a similar waistline.)

3rd and 4th - not sure but with the parting in his hair, perhaps the last years of the nineteenth century, early years of the twentieth?

5th one - definitely looks later than the previous ones, maybe c. 1950s?

Many thanks for that Kate, much appreciated. I am trying to work out who the wedding is , I have been told who the central figure is (in my tree) so I just have to work out everyone else.
