I think you may be right Creasegirl .. They may actually have been costermongers ..   snippets here and there in wifes family history give a possibility of this ...

I tried that . I  had the pic in photoshop but  was unable to get any detail from the plaque on the donkey ,  unfortunately there isnt enough resolution or detail already there..  .:  :(  looks like its going to remain a mystery   ...

it must be for a special occasion of some kind to go to the trouble of dressing up the donkey never mind the kids as well eh haha . Maybe it was something to do with the Scottish side of things ? thing is though I wonder why they needed the donkey in on the act maybe they were off somewhere ?

Don't think it would be a pearly King thing would it, as they are a long ways from London :)
