Hi Everyone,

After a quick sleep in Australia I've come back to some fantastic restores and great information!  Thanks so much Jim and China for your dating expertise - I'm a bit sad that it's not who I thought it was, but I'll work on solving this mystery.  I wonder if you think that this photo and the other two (a girl and boy with a Mandolin that I've also posted recently) look like they could have been done at the same time - what do you think?

Irene, Yvonne, Terry, John and Tommy - your restores are amazing, thanks so much for all your hard work - I have so many great choices now.  You've inspired me to track down these mysterious folk and put a name to them.  All I have to go on is that my Aunt says she thinks these are our "English Rellies" - my Great Grandmother moved to Australia in 1908.

Thanks again everyone, I really appreciate your help and kindness.

JJ Girl  :D

We'd need to see the photo surrounds to tell if this is from the same time as the mandolin photos. Could you ask for a rescan to include the outer corners of the mounts? Very important dating clues!
