Our Rootschat Prue has a book about dating  Rocking Horses I seem to remember..

I've coloured this pic on another thread and I agree with JC, to me it's a little boy, looking at the eyes.

A dated photograph from 1906.

Both were boys. The elder being my Grandfather born 1901.

Yes their Father did look like that he had been involved in a mining accident.

Why did most of my Relies have a photo taken in a back yard?   ;D

Best regards George

Another circa 1907.

The elder boy was born 1898.

The baby girl born 1906.

I have noticed on my family photos that baby boys have a "boot" style of footwear, whereas girls have a more open style. (May be hand downs of course)

Photo taken in a back yard - no change there then.  :(
