Handy Pandy - Thank you so much for the clean up. Looks so much sharper.
Millepede - Can't find a marriage to the second Annie, so they just lived together for the rest of their lives. She doesn't look like an absconder which makes me think it's the second Annie. The first Annie and their children have about 30 workhouse records and on occasions she was released back to the police.
Regorian - I wonder if they rented the clothes for the portrait. They were extremely poor, he spent a lot of time in and out of prison and his wife and children were in and out of the workhouse.
Sami - He did have one younger brother but I thought possible a son.

I am wondering if anyone can narrow down a date on this photo by what they are wearing. They were a very poor London family.
It's of my great grandfather James John Drake on the left and we presume the woman in front of him is his wife, but which one, he had two, both called Annie. The first, Annie Sweeney absconded from the London workhouse in 1906 leaving behind her children, never to be seen again. The second, Annie Smith was with my great grandfather from 1905 till she died in 1939. They both had a child to him in 1905, one in March and one in December.

Thank you, I am starting to think Victorian Period after googling images of their clothing. If it is her she was born in 1847 and died 1933

Can anyone work out a date by the clothing being worn? I have been sent this by a family member and we want to know if it is our Great Great Grandmother. If it is the right period, this lady was from Kent, all the men in the family were agricultural labourers. She seems a bit smartly dressed but maybe they had one best outfit for important functions.

Granny M. Thanks for that I have located an address for a granddaughter with an unusual name so maybe we'll have more luck contacting her and work backwards. These ancestors can sure throw some curly ones at you. Imagine what they would think about us finding all the information on them including the dirt, they would be horrified. Thanks for your help.
