Title: Trying to find out who is in a photograph
Post by: RagdollFan on Sunday 29 June 25 09:41 BST (UK)
Hello! I am trying to find out who is in the below photograph. I think that the woman at the top left of the photograph is my maternal grandmother's sister, born Alice Maud Coppock in London (my grandmother was Lillian Susan Dinger nee Coppock). She was married twice (first to Ernest Jones and then to George Clarke) and I believe it is Ernest on her left standing next to her.

I know this is a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone might know who the other people in the photo are? Thanks in advance for any help!

When was Alice born and married?  There is an Islington birth in 1873 with parents Henry & Jane.

This will help date the photograph.  If she is on a family tree you may be lucky and make contact with someone who has more information.

I had trouble following the marriage as it led me up the garden path to an Alice Maud with a different surname. 

Did she go to Australia as well?  Any clue where the photo was taken?

Did her first husband pass away RagdollFan?  That would narrow down the year if he is in the photo.
