Title: Lawson Family, South Shields, UK. Dating please
Post by: easy12 on Friday 22 February 19 11:57 GMT (UK)

Hi, I have two photos from different time periods that I am trying to link. The first is, I think, Mary Helena Lawson (nee Christiansen) with her family of 3 girls, a boy and possibly a second young boy on her lap. The girls were born 1882, 1884, 1887, the boy 1891 and the next born was a boy born 1896. According to the 1911 census there was a child who died but I have no info at all on that child. The ones listed all survived past 1911. The second attachment is an image of the back of this photo. The 3rd attachment is, hopefully, the same family(ladies only) later in life and this photo has no backing to it. If anybody could kindly date these for me it would greatly help.
Many thanks in advance
