trying to identify who is who in this photo !
« on: Wednesday 15 May 24 11:53 BST (UK) »
hello , dont know if this is the right place or not , but
I have several photos of my great Aunt Margaret Alexander McCrorie Coutts , she moved to South Africa in the early 1900s, she married Albert Coutts in 1910 , her sister Ellen(Nellie) McCrorie Wilkie also went , I believe late 1890s or early 1900s , she married David Allan Wilkie in 1902 !
I have one photo of Margaret with a sister but I am not sure which sister !
I have no known photos of Nellie , but have one of another sister Mary Ann whom I know visited SA a few times !
can anyone help me identify which sister is in the photo with Margaret , Margaret is the one siting on the chair ?
the other photo is of Mary Ann sitting in the front row , while visiting SA !
these photos are copies so sorry for the quality !
sorry if this is long winded I do hope you understand ... any help would be appreciated !
regards
Elinga

Mary Ann’s nose is a bit sharper. Could be an age thing.
Standing lady looks quite a lot like the right hand standing one in the group photo.

I would say that the lady with the flower in her hair is the sister with Margaret sitting down

do you have the sisters ages?

mckha489, sandiep and japeflakes thanx for responding ,  photo was sent to me by an elderly relative in SA and she wasnt sure when the first photo was taken , but the group photo she believed was early 50s !
but I believe the ladies in the group photo are all related (likely daughters of the lady in the front)
I have enclosed 2 other photos of Margaret first one when she arrived in SA , which I still havent managed to establish , but before 1910, when she got married to Albert Coutts , who she is with in the second photo, which maybe have been when they got married or just after , I could be wrong  !
Margaret was born in 1887 and Albert was born in 1885 !
