This photo is of my grandmother and one of her sisters taken on Wimbledon Common, according to the writing on the envelope it was in. I think the little girl in the middle is my grandmother, but only because she looks a bit like me as a child. I have no idea which one is her sister, who was 18 months younger. I suppose one or more of the others could be relations too, although I would have though it would have mentioned that on the envelope.
Can anyone help with dating this photo please? Do you think they are dressed in their Sunday best? They lived about 3 miles from Wimbledon Common. Could it have been a Sunday School outing? Although I don't recall either of them ever talking about going to Sunday School.
Their father was a tailor and there were 5 boys and 5 girls in the family. Curiously, none of the sons followed their father's trade, but the eldest daughter became a tailoress and my grandmother became a dressmaker. Maybe that is why they are so smartly dressed.
