Dating please for unknown ladies and baby

This is another photo from Grandparents album.  A date would help to narrow down family members.  Also is it a studio posed picture?  Once again it is a tiny photo possibly cropped from a larger one. I had thought maybe my dad born in 1920 but it looks older to me. Compared to pic of him as a baby I am not sure.

My uneducated estimate would be late war to immediate post war, so could be your dad, I think. But bumping it up the board should attract the experts.

Thank you. Just noticed couple things. The lady seated appears to be wearing a dressing gown and an interesting shoe. If other lady was my grandmother can't make out a wedding ring. I have a pic of Dad aged 3 months and another aged around 15 months don't think he is baby, he was quite cute. The kneeling lady has a look of my grandmother however there is not much face to see.

If you posted a baby photo of your dad Jane maybe we could compare...the baby is looking up so the features will be slightly altered. I don't think Peter is far out with his estimate. A better close up high res scan of the ladies hand may reveal a wedding ring.

JJ, I think that is a dress or a white blouse worn with a pale skirt rather than a dressing gown. I bet it is made from a lovely fabric too.

I think the photo may have been taken a little earlier than 1920.

i don't think it is a studio portrait - the grass and large tree look too real.

I agree not a studio photo...it does look in Photoshop like she could be wearing a ring.

Thanks all. 

Here are 2 pics of Dad.  Born 23 Dec, 1920.  First 1921 aged 3 months, second 1922 19 months.

My grandmother is the lady in my previous post at seaside in 1924.

Hope this helps.

Ah, he is so cute JJ!! i couldn't tell you if he is the same baby in photo one though ...

I was so like him at similar age to second pic , as was my youngest son and my grandson who is also William.  Totally irrelevant I know. I also have look of my grandmother as a young girl. But then also look like maternal grandmother too. So looking for resemblance in pics  is hard I think, I see likeness in all pics I have. Perhaps seeing what is not there, lol.
