This photo might be my 2nd Great Grandfather Anthony Williams (1853-1938). The inset in the top left hand corner is definitely his wife Emma nee Hughes (1862-1953), their daughter Elizabeth Williams (1890-1967) (my Great Grandmother) and her eldest daughter Mary (May) Parry (1915-1997) on her knee as a baby. A family member doubts this is Anthony (although that's what is written on the back of the original) and believes it might be his son Robert Williams (1893-1962). There is a striking resemblance with Robert, but it's not unusual for a son to resemble their father.
The inset can therefore be dated to 1915. Anthony would have been 63 in 1915 and Robert would have been 22, but I think the main photo could be a much earlier photo. I haven't seen a vintage photo with an inset like this before. Please date the main photo of the seated man? Is this Anthony or Robert?
