OLD PHOTO DATE Foy Ladies

[chrisdyer]

The two photographs on the right are my Grandfather, Reuben Crosby but I don't know what the uniform is. The lady on the bottom row beside him is my Grandmother, Henrietta nee Foy.  Do the other ladies on the page look like his sisters at different ages.  He had two sisters.  What years approximately.  Most of our family photos were lost & I am trying to work back on this book of small photos - with your help.  Very much appreciated.

Looks like Royal Engineers maybe...

Difficult to say what timespan they all cover but all certainly Edwardian.
Generally they look post 1905-around 1912.
Unless you have evidence the man is a full time soldier he would have been TF.

Is he this Reuben Crosby?

When this picture was taken he would have been Sapper 4790 RE TF.
His number was allocated to the 1st. S. Midland Field Coy.

No. It's not this Reuben Crosby.  My Grandfather lived in Heaton Park, Manchester

I wouldn't discount him just yet.

Sorry, I thought you meant the photo on the side!  What does TF stand for?

Territorial Force.

I think it is my Grandfather.  I remember little bits I was told & makes sense, Thank you.
