Hi Medpat
The Niece that I think the little girl could be was born Aug 1914, and I was thinking she could be as young as three in the picture?? That could make the picture 1917, when Jess would have been aged 20 years. Do you think looking at their pictures he could be 20, and 3yrs. Of course I'm not sure if the girl is who I think she is. There is only one contender in the family tree, his niece Verna Wiles.

This is a known picture of Verna Wiles born 1914. Very poor i know. This is who I think the little girl in the picture may well be.

The fashion of the time could give you a good idea. It's difficult to tell re the photo and there could be several young girls who are alike in the family.

I agree Medpat, but there are no nieces born at the right time. It of course could be a neighbour or friends daughter, I think its just a possible.

The little girl with the soldier has a picture locket around her neck, could she have lost her Father during the war and the necklace contained a photo of him. Just and idea.

Hi Treetotal,
She didn't loose her father,but he did service in the Grenadier Guards and was away during the War. Good thinking, thank you.

Yes I would say so too. The eyebrows are the same.
