Unfortunately this photo is a tiny print about 2.5 inches wide, so it is not very clear. I’m almost certain that it is of Leonard and Ada Beauchamp, my great grandparents, of whom I have a very hazy recollection. Both died aged 91. Ada was born in 1871 and Leonard in 1874. Apparently Ada was very small and Leonard was approaching 6’. The height difference looks less to me here, but I think Leonard is probably standing in the cart rut and Ada is on the raised ground between ruts, which might explain it.
I know Ada had eyesight problems and wore blue-tinted glasses, and the lady in the photo seems to have tinted glasses.
Do the clothes give a clue to date? My father told me of a trip he and my mother and her parents and paternal grandparents made to visit Ada’s sister in Warwickshire (where Ada and Leonard once lived on adjoining farms). The trip was in Leonard’s posh car, chauffeur-driven by my grandad because despite owning a haulage business (his two sons) Leonard himself couldn’t drive
). I wonder if this photo was taken on that trip, in the early 1950’s?
