The Common Room / Re: How to display parentage?
« on: Wednesday 09 July 25 14:43 BST (UK)  »
For accuracy you need to put birth parents if they are known but
as you are talking about a memorial rather than a family tree I would
suggest adoptive parents would take precedence with a mention
of birth mother.

What he's wearing is commonly called a Jolly Tar.
They were popular from the 1880's but more associated
with the 90's & early 1900's.
The backdrop is typical 1880's.
Agree aged 4/5.
