Oh the old bicycles, Paula - they did jolt and bump beneath you. I think there are still parts of one like those in the photo lying around in my dear old Dad's back shed.

This is my great grandma Sarah Cawood born 1818 in Yeadon, my mothers grandma. There was fortunately printing on the back of the photographers studio and then I went to date the photo on "date a UK photo site" and everything fell into place.

My father in law used to say that this was a picture of him when he was a little girl. Harry Christie c 1914 and we still have the robe

My dad was born in 1916 and was photographed in similar attire.  Questions as to why he was wearing a dress were discouraged 

The answer was very simple it was standard practice to clothe both young boys and young girls in a dress in those days. Certainly nothing odd about it.

In the days long before disposable nappies and even before plastic pants, it was probably more hygienic, and certainly easier to change a nappy!
