Hi Brigidmac. Their names are Dad, John Smith, Mam, Lilian Smith ( nee Roberts ) Daughter in law Lily Smith, ( nee Irwin ) pic was taken in Pugin St Kirkdale  Liverpool, the waste area behind was where our house was prior to the Blitz, the sign was on the wall of a local shop that as you can see narrowly missed the bombs.

Kind regards scouse Merry xmas

Thanks Scouse it all adds to the story around the pic .my grandad house was hit lightly by a bomb
In Birkenhead .He always joked with his brothers that their mother Maria Jones nee Smith had sat thru it stoically after her 6 sons survived WW 1 she thought she was invincible

It's a great social history picture ..would have thought local newspaper or history group might be interested in it .
