Re: Our Ancestors #4

Seeing as there are some lovely photos of children wearing their best clothes of the time, I thought I'd post one of my father  (in the middle)  with his brother and one of his sisters. I thought it very interesting that only the oldest child has shoes on. Wish my grandmother was still alive so I could ask her if it was because they couldn't afford shoes for the little ones - or if it was just that they wouldn't keep shoes on their feet!

And how about my father's hair!

Oh Dee.......that is one fabulous picture!
The little girl is gorgeous and her dress likewise!
The boys are wonderful...and your Dad's haircut is splendid!....looks like Sir Lancelot!
How lucky you are to have such a great pic.
Cheers,

I have been admiring all the pictures so thought I would put one of my Dad with his 2 Sisters on here. They don't look too happy about having their photo taken. I'm not sure exactly when it was but the oldest was born in 1907 and Dad was born in 1913.
