Hi John...dating would be tough...men and childern are hard to date, especially men in uniform.

Do you have the originals? Are they actual photos, or from the newspaper?

Cheers,

Where is Pollard Street, John?
We might be lucky and find some old photos online of firemen in that particular area. I recently helped someone, on the Staffordshire board, who was tring to date their fireman ancestor. We were really lucky and found some photographs the Staffordshire Past Track site.
Otherwsie, as China says uniforms can be diffficult.

China, do you think that's a ginger tom in the children's photo?

    Hi Girls

     Yes i think ginger tom in the kids photo black and white in the mens photo.

      The photos were taken from a book that i don't have afraid Mad jack was the station officer from 23.7.1903; retired medically 17.7.1908. at Pollard st Ancoats Manchester. In the childrens photo top left is my nanna Mary Ellen Slater holding my Uncle Arthur in the high chair next to her are two brothers don't know wich is wich bottom row left another brother then my Aunty Alice Then maybe another brother? on this one. Think the pic of kids app 1908 as uncle Arthur B. 1908 just before he retired injured.

Only thing I can see in the children's pic that I might be able to stick a date on would be the giant lace collar on that girl on the right side...they were popular around 1910-195 or so...just a thought...

Cheers,
China
