Davies family, Coxhead Farm, Llanbister, Radnorshire

These are one set of adults who might be in the photo, a son of Sarah's plus his wife, and a son-in-law who looks to me like the chap in the middle with the moustache (but i'm hopeless with facial recognition).

I've had a go at trying to divide them into families by looks and clothing but they seem to be a wee bit mixed - long faced ones and round faced ones intermixed. There's definitely two families but, as you say, could be more.

Thanks Gadget, so do you think the 2 mothers are the third from left and the far right, with 2 husbands as the two men in the photo? If so, then i'm missing a lot of children from 2 families, and my friend's ancestors - the younger lot of children - may not be in the photo at all (fooled by the idea that as they had the photo it must belong to them!).

The woman on the right does look like Eva and the man on the left could be Alfred.

If so, Eva and Alfred seem to be both wearing buttonholes/sprays.

Very! Thanks Gadget, unfortunately Alfred and Eva's children were born between 1911 and 1926 so not in the Edwardian era; think i'm going to have to admit defeat on naming them, though accepting that it is a wonderful photo taken at the family home.

Decided to go back a generation and see if that threw anything up; sadly not. Sarah appears to be a single child with an unmarried mother, while John appears to be with his grandparents aged 5 and was then a servant on a farm at age 15, so neither with any confirmed family.

It seems an awful lot of children.Could it be an event of some kind rather than just a family photo.

Doubt we’ll ever know, thanks Gadget 😀
