Title: Please date me I'm lost
Post by: History seeker on Friday 04 March 11 02:33 GMT (UK)

Hello All,

I found this photo along with others in a second hand shop in Wollongong NSW. I just couldn't leave Him/Her there & would love to find some family members for them to go home to. The only clue I have is on the back of another photo & that is the name Neville Tregown Beryl's brother( Beryl married a Keith Ryan in Lithgow). So I'm praying that by dating this photo I my get a clue to what family they  may of came from. I have contacted members on Ancestry with no response.

Many thanks
HS

Hi HS :)

What a sweet little soul - doesn't look like those pants are particularly comfortable though.  ;D

Realistically we could be looking at anytime from about 1910-1940 with this pic but if you could show us the rest of it, and the back, we might be able to narrow it down.  There's a set of guidelines for how to post for dating at the top of the board:

Hi Prue,

 That's all of it the, It is on thick cardboard but a thin? layer has been peeled off. You can see where the outside of the photo has been cut. I'm guessing but I think it must of had a boarder around it.

Thanks
HS
