Completed - New South Wales Please help date photo of father and child downs
« on: Thursday 11 December 14 11:47 GMT (UK) »
 :) Hi I would love some help dating this photo. It will help me identify who are the people in the photo. I believe that the father in this photo is Sydney John Downes born in 1885 died in 1958. If this is the case, this photo could have been taken between 1914 and 1926. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Deb

Sorry, Jim. I have no idea. It's a photo that's all I know. I don't have any more detail as photo was copied online.  :-[

Thanks, Brit. This looks great. Deb  ;)
I've actually had a response from the family & the father was Sydney Downes which dates this photo at 1914. Thanks guys.
