Hi all, this is a picture of the Wade Family, in Shipley, West Yorkshire.
For ethics, everyone in this photograph has since passed.I'm hoping that somebody could please help me date this photograph, probably not by clothing, but by children's ages.
Charlotte Wade b 1888 (nee Sugden) With her Children
Top Row Left to Right.Sarah Ann Wade b 1909 (Although there's a reason she looks younger, so we can't use her for dating this photograph)
George Wade b 1911
Middle Row - Left to RightHere's where my dating problems arise if the youngest child is Mary Wade born 1928, it would mean this photograph was taken around 1929-1930 making Wilfred and George 16/17 and 18/19 years old respectively, which I ultimately struggle to believe.
Wilfred Wade b 1913
BottomI was told to be Ethel Wade b 1921 and She does look about 8/9 to me.
But this isn't for certain just family assumptions!
If the youngest child is not Mary wade and instead is Ethel Wade, it would make Wilfred about 10, and George about 12, which is more plausible, but possibly even too young, but it would mean that I had no Idea who the bottom girl is, and I haven't found a GRO INDEX to say she had a daughter that could be in this photograph, unless someone else could possibly find one.
I know that Charlotte had
many children that died at young ages to David Wade b1888.
John Wade b 1906 d 1906
Arthur Wade b 1907 d 1910
Horace Wade b 1915 d 1917
Now obviously these are out of the question for more reasons than one, but its the fact that there could be many more.
Unfortunately I can not see if Charlotte Had any other Children that died young as GRO index doesn't show mothers maiden name past 1923.
Hoping that somebody could possibly either help identify the child it could be using the GRO index, or possibly give a rough idea of the year of this photograph, based on her Children's Ages and birth years. I want to identify this photograph properly but it is proving difficult.
Charlotte, Wilfred, George, and Sarah Ann, are definitely who I have said they are.
Sorry for making the above so long winded and trivial. In short, I would please like your help with your opinions on ages, so I can get a rough idea of who is who, and when.
Again, there's a reason Sarah Ann Wade could look younger, and so she may not be the best in regards of her age resulting in a date of this photograph, but of course opinions are still welcome.
Here is the image.
