I wonder for what special occasion this photograph was taken. It looks as if it could be a mother and her four girls. I love your photos Peter. Do they ever give a clue as to who they are?

I think i've had a couple of photo where the full name has been on and a few where the first name is given but for the most part there's no names on the back which is a real pitty.

Do you ever research the names to find a wee bit more about the people?

Yes, on both occasions i was able to trace relatives and pass on the photos to them.

This shows that we should all write names/dates etc on the backs of photos.
Today the grand children of those ladies might have copies of that photo in their family photo box but have no idea who they were apart from ' They are some of our aunties'.

I agree Norman especially because, like most of us I suppose, have photos and have no idea who the folks are.
