Wedding at Waterford Courthouse
Really delighted with this one, as we have so little evidence of Jewish life in Ireland in our photographs! We found out that the bride and groom were Ester Levin of John Street, Waterford (22), and Myer Stein of Raymond Street, Dublin (25), and that this wedding took place at Waterford Courthouse, in early September 1901.
beachcomber australia thinks the “fellow in the middle” is Dr. Hermann Adler, Chief Rabbi of the British Empire (1891-1911). Is he right?
