   Extract showing the old man. What a great photographic subject :D

          Didn't know is name.

Isn't he! So I'm not 100% certain on who he is. Initially I thought he was Mary Morgan's Father, Morgan Morgans.  But Given that the woman on the floor in front is most likely Mary I've come to doubt this. The age difference looks to great. so I've come to think the gentleman with the beard may actually be her Grandfather Thomas Morgans or  John Jones..

And another extract. These may be constructions to some extent and may NOT be a true

  representation of that person.

Very true. I was originally told by a cousin that it was mary. This had been passed down by word of mouth however and therefore be incorrect

But - is the date really c1880? 

I'm no expert on ladies' dress fashions, but the younger men look more like the early 1900s to me.

Hi Harry,
Thanks for your comment, you are probably right, it was an increadly rough estimate on my part based on how young the woman and the front looked to me so I assumed it was prior to her having had her children. It might well be 1900s.

I would agree with early Edwardian going by the sleeves on the ladies dresses.
