This may be Emily with her parents and siblings in 1891.

Living at 9, Normanby Street, Sunderland, Durham

Parents Samuel and Elizabeth and eight siblings.  Samuel's occupation is dock crane man.

Emily's birth:-

COOPER, EMILY       PEACOCK 
GRO Reference: 1883  J Quarter in SUNDERLAND  Volume 10A  Page 703

This is just a possibility.  As has been said, obtaining Emily's marriage certificate would give her father's name and therefore confirm if the above is correct.

I did wonder if it was a turntable/tracks as well Andrew.

Certainly something on which large containers could be moved from inside to outside.

Unfortunate that it is not a clear and well focused photo.  Difficult to date it as well.

Welcome to RootsChat  :D

Why the assumption that it is in Glasgow?  What is your connection to the photograph?

I brightened the photo considerably and there appears to be rolls? of something, possibly in containers in the background.

Unfortunate that the white coloured board on the left is totally unreadable.

Welcome to RootsChat  :D

I'm putting this for information only.  I cannot be sure if this is the correct William.

Baptised on 19th April 1756 at Dinton, Wiltshire.  Parents are William and Elizabeth.  This is from a transcript only.

As William was convicted in New Sarum (Salisbury) this looks to be a good possibility.  Distance between Salisbury and Dinton is 8 miles.

Have you considered getting his death certificate?  Am I right in thinking that parents are named on Australian death certificates?

For 'plebs fine lege ruit' Google translate comes up with 'the people rushed at the end of the law'.  Not sure if that is correct.

Apparently she left £32664 when she died, quite a sum of money in 1976.  Probate Winchester 7 June 763307353Q.  I would have thought there would be a will with that amount of money.

There is this baptism on Family Search:-

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N6SG-ZVW

However the distance between Melksham and Enford is about 20 miles.

Can't see anything on FreeReg or Find My Past that is likely.

Were John's parents Thomas & Mary?  If so there are four potential siblings for him.  Please note that the information is from transcripts not the original image.

Maria born 30 Jan 1800 bap 23 May 1800, James born 25 Jan 1803 bap 13 Feb 1803, Sophia born 14 Jan 1807 bap 30 Jan 1807 and Thomas born 19 Nov 1808 bap 7 Dec 1808.

All baptised at Salisbury, Wiltshire.  As there was no image to view I don't know what Thomas Snr's occupation may have been.

Added:  If you have a subscription to Ancestry they have Wiltshire Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1916, so you may be able to find a marriage for Thomas & Mary on there.
