Yes that's why I first wondered if it was some sort of religious scarf

Only thing is people in mourning for a loved one lost in WWI one would expect to be dressed in black or dark clothes. My great aunt had a stepson who was killed at Gallipoli. I have a photograph of his fiance. She was wearing black or dark clothes with a hat with what must be a photograph of him with black edging stuck in her hat. Never seen that before. Perhaps someone with knowledge will read these Posts and elucidate.

Could she be the birth mother's sister in law and the man behind maybe the birth mum's  brother ( you said she had two aunts - and two uncles siblings of the mother).

My grandparents and family used call their in-laws sisters and brothers. I have an old photo post card where my g aunt has written to my *grandmother (*who is my g aunt's brother's wife ) , where she addresses my Grandmother, not by her name but  as sister and sis  - If anyone reads that letter without knowing the family, they would probably assume that the two ladies are sisters and not sisters-in-law.

Kind Regards :)

PS they look like roses  to me and not skulls, set into a cut/dart thingymajig

HI, can anyone tell me whether the lady on the left is wearing some sort of religious scarf/dress --the year would be 1919/1920/the little boy is my dad so im sure of the date as he was born 1917 , im trying to work out who the lady and man are to the left of the picture

Think that this could quite easily within the time frame you mention...I don't think their is anything religious about her outfit...the little boy in my opinion is no more than 3 or 4 years old.

I get the feeling that I've seen this picture on here before? or a very similar outfit?

If you ask a moderator to move this to the Photo board the fashion/photography experts will soon give lots of information and dating for the picture but I'm fairly certain that she's wearing a stylish outfit and not anything religious (note the hat!).

If it the photo thread I'm thinking of then you did get replies and the date seems to have been narrowed down already ::)
