Family photo from early c20th, probably Chester, UK. Date help needed please!

Hi, I am trying to work out when this photo was taken. I want to ID the people for the family tree I am building. I think I know who they all are, which would mean that this was taken in about 1910 in the UK. Does that date sound about right, judging from the outfits, hair etc, or would it be later? It's a loose photo, not on card. No markings on the back. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Around 1910 would be about right.
Well to do whoever they are.

Thanks Jim, and yes they aren't they - The boy in his suit etc. Assuming the date is right, they are Elizabeth Ledsham (1870-1933) and children, living in Middlesex at the time with husband William Humfrey.

Welcome to Rootschat,

Not at all. Thanks for your help Yvonne.

The 1911 census suggests this is closer to 1912/13 going on the ages of the children.
As they were living in Enfield at the time & the last 3 children were born Mddx. I would say it was taken there.
