First a little success story then a challenge to solve...
This is a family photo of my Dad's cousins taken some time between 1920 and 1927. An older relative told me who the adults were so I was able to deduce who the children must be but not which one was which. One slight problem though, I had names and DOB for 9 children but there were only 8 in the photograph.
So, wondering where the missing child could be I spent a long time looking for death dates for each of them but came up with nothing, I had evidence of life beyond childhood for each of them. So this has been on the back burner for some years until I decided to have another look today. Whilst zooming in to see the details I discovered what I think is evidence of the missing (youngest) child. Can you see it?
The second problem to solve is to decide which child is which? The two adults seated in the middle are Jeanette and James Johnston. Their children were James b.1915, Alexander b.1916, Albert b.1918, Kathleen b.1920 and Lillie b.1922. The other couple, the man standing on the right and the woman seated on the right, are Florence and Fred Bridge. Their children were Fred b.1914, George b.1916, Lillie b.1918 and Donald b.1920.
So, if anyone fancies having a stab at which is which I would love to hear your thoughts.
