Opinions on date please
« on: Friday 25 June 10 20:13 BST (UK) »
I'm sorry this photo is very faint but I'd be grateful for your opinions on the date.   I have two possible families (brothers who both had two girls and then two boys) but a date will probably sort out which group it is.

Thank you - I was thinking that 1912 would fit with one family so that isn't far out.

The children I'm thinking it most likely to be were born 1900, 1902, 1905 and 1908.   Do you think that fits.

Mothers dress style is a little dated for 1912 but looking at the children it would have to be 1911/12.

Irene,

That is amazing.   Thank you so much.

Jim,

Perhaps Mum wasn't very fashionable!
