hmm, as a background this was sent to my great gran by her auntie Edith, on the back is written 'here's our baby Albert, some baby eh, love auntie Edith'. Now as far as I know Edith did not have a son Albert. She had a brother Albert b.1882. There are some numbers on back 11.23 which I thought may date it as 1923, which would make him 41. I thought perhaps 1920's America...the clothes reminded me a a bit of old gangster movies.
That said it may then be possible, if this is 1940's, that this is a son of Ediths I don't know about.
Myself and Ediths great grandson have been discussing this for a while..he for the record also thinks 1940s'-50's..I think earlier.

Looks like I am definetly wrong placing this in the 20's then?
Perhaps Edith did have another son, and the reason we don't know of him is he left U.K for America/Australia?
Anybody have a rough idea of age? I'm terrible at that sort of thing.

Hmm this is intriguing. The name of this fellow if Ediths son would have been Albert Field. I googled 'Albert Field' and Australia and got this:
Albert Field
That Albert Field they say was born in Britian 1910, orphaned at 14, and sent to Australia as sponsored orphan.
The date then he was orphaned 1924/5 does roughly match the date Ediths husband died.Last edited by Richard; 15-04-08, 15:54.

That's what I personally thought, rather than it actually being Ediths son. That's why I thought perhaps it was the uncle but the dates don't seem to fit do they. The uncle Albert would have been a pensioner if it was post 1946 as now seems likely! So perhaps it is her son. The great grandson says there was another brother, but he thought his name was Leonard, though he admits he's by no means sure of that.
