Hi. Another photo is dated 1901. I can only assume these are friends of Col. Body and Mabel?

Body trees.

I have a picture of Mabel Williams, married James Irvine. It appears to
be dated 6-9-01, although that might be the date of marriage.  Do you
have any ideas where she fits into our tree?

Then I have 3 more photos - 2 of Maud E Jackson and 1 of Norton Francis,
who seems to be her husband.  Again, I have no knowledge of anybody with
either name in our tree!

I could only find a Norton Jackson - no Francis as surname - marriage from 1837 to 1925:

Sep quarter 1917 
Norton T Jackson to Eva D Collins Wycombe 3a 2016   

Could he be Norton Francis Jackson and in that way be related to Maud E? An 'F' could easily be transcribed as a 'T'

There is one birth for a Norton Francis:
Jun quarter 1871
Norton Francis Hampstead 1a 575

There is a second, but he died the same year and quarter
Mar 1896
Norton Gerrish Francis Barton I. 8c 725

I see Maude E Jackson did marry Norton Francis and they emigrated to New Zealand. Can't find when they married or when they emigrated. Married 1906 and he finished up as a Major. John Body and Francis Norton must have served together in Mesopotamia?
