The lady on the left looks determined not to enjoy herself, I think a lot of people have similar photos in their family albums. I have a photo of my maternal grandmother and her three sisters and all four look like right battleaxes as the late Les dawson would have described them.

 ;D they do look formidable and yes Carol i do agree that they look like someone has just called their name.
Our Nan was born in 1900, her mum was born in 1874. Nan had an older sister that was born in 1891 but she died in 1933. She also had younger sisters who were born in 1905, 1906 & 1911.

I wouldn't rule out them being four sisters, it's difficult to judge your Nan's age as she is frowning. People did look older in black photos from that era.
I recognise your avatar photo, have you put up for restoration and colour here some time ago.

Hi Carol,
Yes i have had some lovely work done by the restorers on here - My profile picture being one of them   :).
I forgot to mention that Nan also had daughters, the oldest were born in 1923,1925.
Not sure if the younger ladies would fit in the age bracket.

Thank you for your time
