Thank you. This is helpful.
There were a number of musicians in the family. Two sons David and Harry, were part of Buffalo Bill's Cowboy Band when they traveled through Europe 1990-1992. Both played the clarinet. Thomas played the cornet. A newspaper clipping about the birthday celebration says that father John "was at one time the leader of the Scotch drum corps of Taftville (Connecticut)."

Lisa - thank you for the idea of looking for family members clustered near each other. Makes sense!

The two and half inch men's collar was fashionable during 1908/1911

I'm glad you agree, Carol. I don't think the OP noticed my post about you and Jim  :-\

Add - that means that some of the dates don't match the people.

Thank you for the help with dates. You are right that it means some things about the people don’t line up. Such a great photo and an even greater mystery!

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Well I think the lady holding the child is the oldest and that the man to her right and the lady to her left are married to each other.

I've not much to add - only the ladies blouses from link below suggest +/- say 5 years of Edwardian times.
This is helpful - keeps the timeline broadly around the family gathering in 1912 [if they are the Livinsgstones].
