A1: (wedding)
Is this the marriage of Brenda Fielder to David Charles Webster? That would be Jan-Mar 1942 in Edmonton. L to R:
who700 (corporal), Maisie, who701/ Ivor Fielder???, DCWebster????, Brenda Fielder????, who702 (bridesmaid), Jimmy Fielder
but where was May? I can't imagine her missing the wedding of her oldest child. Do others agree? I can send this to Ivor Fielder for his opinion.
A2: (beach)
This is too low resolution for me to recognise anyone. Any clues?
A3: (five people and a bench)
Mike, you sent me this photo back in July. May and Jimmy and Maisie I can recognise, but who are the other two. Any hints?
A4: (Penydarren postcard #2)
This is on the Alan George website http://www.alangeorge.co.uk/penydarren.htm
A5: (4 in garden)
This looks just postwar. Fran, Maisie, Hywel, Wella.
A6: (studio picture)
This is Maisie wearing her bridesmaid dress, the outfit she wore at Mum&Dad's wedding on 15 April 1933. They actually look like the same flowers, too, so it may be that very day.

Sorry I can't add much to your ideas Emrys, apart from is that Maisie front of the exercise group in the dark clothing? Also is it Vincent (Mackney) and his wife in A3?
However A6 -- this is definitely my mum Brenda m Williams!

Narrative
Phone between Ivor Fielder and EJW, 25 nov 2010:
The Photo is of Brenda Fielder's first Wedding. Don't know who the corporal is. Then Maisie, Ivor Fielder, DCWebster, Brenda Fielder, Bery, Jimmy.
Beryl was a friend of Brenda's from school. Ivor can't recall ever meeting her again after the wedding. Brenda went to Lady Hollies School in Hackney - was that Lady Eleanor Holles School? It was in Hackney until 1935.
DC Webster was in a reserved occupation - making aircraft? - in Hounslow. He ony came home from there on weekends. He volunteered for the army.
DCW had 2 sisters. His father was dead by 1942. His mother and 2 sisters were bombed in the blitz, one very badly hurt, but Ivor thinks they survived the war. Ivor saw their destroyed flat, the steel windowframe completely bent and the door blown off.
DCW was high up in the boy scouts before the war.
Ivor says DCW was older than Brenda, but is sceptical about a 1916 birth.
