Title: Is this photo of Great Granny Peggy from 1920s or 1930s please
Post by: peggysmum on Monday 27 June 16 09:31 BST (UK)
Hello all i wander if anyone could help me give a rough date to this photo.I know the lady in the stripey top is my great granny but there is some family disagreement over the children in it. It would depend on whch decade the photo is from as to who the kids are.
Thankyou

Can't get it to any particular year but the start date is WW1 to around 1920. I suspect this is towards the later of those dates.
Woman on the left has 1 child & the other 3.

well my great gran was born in 1897 so would be in her thirties.
Her eldest daughter is Lemintina, she was born in 1916,i wander if the standng girl is her this is she in later life.

and i think the sitting girl is my gran peggy, she was born in 1918, this is her in 1938.

the little girl sitting in the photo looks so like me as a girl. Im not good at child's ages but i think about 10-12 and the sitting child 8-10, so baby is probably aunt comfort bn 1926 or aunt martha 1929. others think it is Comfort standing, Martha sitting and John bn in 1938 as baby. I dont know sadly who the other lady is.

I would say the standing girl bears a striking resemblance to the daughter Lemintina you have posted photos of.

And I would say the photo is too early for the baby to have been born in 1938.
