The picture was taken outside my gt-grandparents' house (no made-up roads then) and the baby was my mother's eldest brother. Fortunately he wore normal clothes the rest of the time, but that was obviously the last word in special-occasion baby clothes for winter!

I thought this thread was being moved to the Lighter Side so that it was permanent?

Here's a photo of my gg-grandfather Frederick George Button at the opening of the Port Augusta Railway line on which he worked on his arrival in South Australia back in 1878. The only problem is I don't know which one is him. He is supposed to be standing on the dais, that's all I know.  ???  ???  ???

Still, it is a great photo to have.
