Could I have your thoughts please on this family photo?
unknown children.jpg
My cousin rainjain sent it to me and was wondering who they were, suggesting that it could either be our great Uncle Fred or Great Aunt Daisy but not both as Daisy was about 6 years older than Fred. To me, both the faces look familiar but I couldn't put a name to them. I started looking more closely and noticed that the little girls posture was slightly uneven, with one arm looking much longer then the other, then I realised that she appeared to be holding the arm of a chair. But no sign of the rest of the chair. Could it be a little home-made walking stick, made from a chair spindle? In which case it must be Aunt Daisy who, through some kind of mishap as a baby, had uneven legs for her whole life and had a 6" block on her shoe when I knew her as an elderly woman.
What do you think? Am I trying to convince myself? Is it a chair or a walking stick?
