The woman on the left is my grandmother
Alice Martland and I am assuming the rest are her sisters. This is in response to the photo
unknown, the photos are very similar. The family
lived in Newtown.

John. From how the members' of your family are attired. They must have been a family of substance, and good breeding.

Hello Paul,
In those days having your photo taken was a major event.
I would image they prepared for it for a couple days.
Alice is indicated in the 1901 census as a school teacher.

Are their parents Richard and Jane Martland? Are some of the sisters Sarah Ellen, Beattie, Maggie, Ginnie, Florrie?
