Hopefully I've attached this correctly
This is a group photograph of the Bowering-Travers, From Dorset When this photograph was taken, they were mainly based in Upwey just outside of Weymouth. We've dated the photograph as being taken around 1905, due to Great Uncle Frank birth who is the baby being held by my Great Gran.

It looks like a Christening photo. Baby in a gown and everyone in their Sunday best. A lovely photo :)

That's what we've always understood the photograph to be, the official Christening of Gt Uncle Frank
My grandfather is the young lad bottom right. His brother went into publishing, and granddad developed a love of the Steam Train, he luckily did his dream Job that of Steam Engine driver for the GWR...
Still remember all the models, paintings, pictures he had of Steam Engines, and he lived next to the Railway line at Taunton.. Couldn't be far away from his trains

I thought the same Japelakes, although I am aware the little boys hand (your grandfather) is just showing below his.
Here is my try Jo, I also suggest you keep having a go at colouring, it's very interesting to do.
