This photograph appears to be a copy print. What looks like a burn mark on the top is actually an image in the print.
The photo is from the Crown Lane archive and I think it could be Bill and Connie Warden. I only knew Bill from when he married Ada in 1961 and I don't have any known earlier pictures of him. But comparing this with later pictures of Bill, I think there is a resemblance. Also, the woman appears to be older than the man. Their marriage certificate of 24 August 1914 shows that William Drewitt Warden, 26, a bachelor married Constance Anetta Dickens, 36, a widow. Her father is shown as George Dickens, so I presume she had reverted to her maiden name. (Bill's age on the marriage certificate is not quite right though. His death certificate shows he was born on 4th July 1890. This is consistent with the age of 70 shown on the certificate of his second marriage to Ada Mackie on 13th April 1961. So when he married Connie, he could only have been 24.)
