I looked for advertisements etc from the studio address. I found that G W Batty (prob. born Hull 1879) owned a shop at 266 Hessle Road from the mid 1900's, with various names: “Batty's All Sorts Shop”, “Batty's”, “Batty's Only Shop”, selling housewares, secondhand furniture, and the like, and by 1908 “Batty's Picture Gallery", and from May 1909, "Standard Photo Co.”.

In Feb 1914 there seems to have been a bankruptcy or debt sale, and by 1919 the address is selling musical instruments.

Going by the adverts then this picture must have been taken in the narrow window 1909 to 1914.

Thanks so much for the excellent background info Ajm, I really appreciate your help.

Harry's birth reg was Q4 1908.

Poor Harry, his father died not long after that photo was taken and his mother re married in 1914 to a Joseph Wilson.

I've sent you more details Carol
