| 10. For a guess, this is Sarah Jeggo and six
of her children. The clothes and hair styles give a date of 1885,
give or take a few years.
Walter (b 1874) and Oliver (b 1872) were her two youngest children. Other photographs of them, when they were much older, provide weak corroboration; that is, they are not ruled out. Emily (b 1871), Leah (b 1870) and Elizabeth (b 1867) were her three youngest daughters. They were unmarried and at home for the 1891 Census, and also apparently without occupations. Gill wonders whether the girl behind the boy is Julia (b 1861), on account of a family likeness. Sarah's other daughter was Ada (b 1865). There are many flowers in this photograph. Could it have been taken at the time of a wedding? (Possibly not at the wedding, but in the photographer's studio.) If so, whose? Julia's (Penkridge, 1887)? Jack also married in 1887, but in London, so that seems rather less likely. So, which four daughters might they be? John Llewelyn thinks they are Julia, Elizabeth, Leah and Emily. |
