Title: London Photographs - Wright Family
Post by: ConfusedMason on Wednesday 22 April 20 07:11 BST (UK)
This is a real long shot, but I have a couple of photos here I am trying to guess the age on.

I have done some research for this one and it seems to be in front of the "Statue of Havelock" in Trafalgar Square. I believe the boy is either Edward, Frederick or Arthur Wright. They were born in 1902, 1904 and 1908 respectively. I am just guessing but this photo might be in the 1910's due to the uniform. Then again it might be from WWII and I am just clueless  :)

This photo was found in my great grandfathers belongings when he died, they might be his parents but not sure

I understand this may not be possible, but educated guesses are welcome :)

Photos are almost certainly from London and surrounding areas.

My guess would be 1940s.

The one in Trafalgar Square is definitely either 1940's or (possibly) late 1930's.

I agree , 1940s for the boy.

Neat, thanks
My family seemed to think the first image was from WWI, but I guess that just shows how much we know  ;D
