The uniforms look very much like those worn by women workers on the railways during WWI, so possibly the older generation.

OK. I wonder if the Glasgow & South Western Railway Association might be able to tell you anything about it? - http://www.gswra.org/

In the meantime, I've had another look, and I think the lettering on the caps might end with "LW" or "SW" in cursive capitals, so maybe it's just "G&SW" again.

The two years quoted 1910 and 1920 in this thread  - a point to remember the 3 ladies in uniform working for a railway could be in  WW1  years 1914-1918 women filling men's jobs while the men were in the forces at war .

We think the photo is of the Scottish side so grandads mother Maggie jamieson born 1910 and her sisters or Maggie's mum Annie Mcdonald born in 1878 and her sisters

Others are better at dating than I am, particularly when it comes to personal appearance and clothing, but someone born in 1878 would have been around 35-40 during WW1. I think that might fit for the one on the left, but would the ages of her sisters match the other two?

So the sister were, Agnes born 1896, Elizabeth 1901 and Maggie 1910

Would that match ?

In your first post you wrote:

Are you saying that Annie's daughters were Agnes, Elizabeth and Maggie, born between 1896 and 1910?

What I was wondering was, if dobfarm could be right about a WW1 date, when were Annie's sisters born? (Alternatively, might the photo be of Annie with Agnes and Elizabeth?)

[Welly07]

Annie 1878, Maggie 1876, Mary 1882, Agnes 1884

They didn't stray far with names

Annie left her family not long after Maggie was born and moved to Canada
