Here are 3 maybe 4 generations of the same family. I think the small child is either my grandmother or one of her sisters.
I have a theory about the clothes older ladies wear. By the time you reach your 30s, my belief is that your clothing tastes are often set in the fashions of your 20s. I often notice women in my town wearing the styles of their youth and can say there goes a '30s/40s/50s/and onwards' woman. You can see this happening in the photo.
So given that my great grandmother is possibly in her early 30s here and wearing something that is on the brink of the 1920s I think the picture may have been taken a few years later. Does anyone agree?
They were a poor family but they are wearing their absolute best here.

Anyway, do you agree? I don't quite know exactly who the older women are yet.
