Thank you for having a look.   That range would definitely rule out my grandmother as being in the photo as she was born 1894.   Would that be described as a "mourning" dress worn by the lady or was black a fairly common colour ?  Reason I ask is I know her husband died in 1903 and wondered if this is a photo taken around that time.  If so that would make the girl back right about 10 years old if it was my grandmother.  I have a photo of her I can date to 1916 and there is, well at least I think so, a strong facial resemblance around the eyes, nose and mouth. 

Thank you for the reply.   I had always assumed my gran was the baby as she was the last born, but that dating would place this 1902 onwards.  My grandmother was born 1894, so if it is her family that would mean she is one of the older girls.  Interestingly, I had always thought there was a likeness in the girl back right, but had discounted it thinking it was an older photo ie 1894/95.    So it could be the children are cousins. 


Hmm more to contemplate.

Thanks again
