Cafferata, Newark - How old are these children?
« on: Monday 30 November 20 19:30 GMT (UK) »
I have some old glass plates that were taken around 1908. I am pretty certain of the date because some of them show my grandfather as a toddler, but if you have any other ideas, please feel free to comment. As the family lived in Newark at the time, I would guess they were taken there, but they did  travel extensively. There are no studio marks on the plates, though some have the family name "Cafferata" written on them.
However some of the plates show children who I am not sure of - in order to help me track them down, can you give an estimate as to their ages?
Thanks in advance.

First on about 7/8 second about 11/12 and the last one about 5, I think the two girls could be the same at different ages or Sisters.lovely images.
