This is from an address on the ER's for Merna

do any of your photos have any similar views?

Thanks for this, but all the photos I have are indoor posed ones.  Most likely taken in a photographer's studio, going by the appearance of them.  But I'm pretty sure about the identity now anyway, at least for Merna.

Thanks very much everyone for your help :)  We've got the identity nailed I'm sure, at least for Merna.  I think maybe contacting the church / crematorium is indeed the way forwards so will look into this.

We do need to be careful because the subjects may still be living.

Merna is quite an unusual name. There is a possible candidate in the 1924 births in Parshore, Worcestershire.

I think that should be Pershore  ;)

If you have any problems dating them, you could put them on the Photo Restoration and Dating Board.
