Would appreciate opinions on date to help with identifying the people

Apologies - I haven't used this section before and see I should have posted it elsewhere but don't know how to move it!

Its only a wide guess- The two ladies left looking at the photo seem late 1920's (late Charleston types) to early 1930's clothes and hair styles, yet could be later right up to before world war 2 in 1939

A more narrow guess - 1931 to 1934 Ladies on the right in photo

I would suggest a date of early-mid 1920's. Late decade hemlines became longer & as you can see in this they are quite short.

Thanks Jim - one of the "suspects" died in 1915 so it looks like no chance of being her which has helped, appreciate your time and input everyone
