Hi Marie. Parents were William (1864-1947) and Celia Winstanley nee Taylor (1864-1922). They married in 1883 and had 13 children in total, 7 survived: Emma, Susannah, William (1890), Mary Jane (Born in Petticoat Lane), Francis (1894), Margaret Alice (Peggy - 1899) and Henry (1905). Your Winstanley's probably were related. My Winstanley family moved between Petticoat Lane, Factory Fold, Manchester Road and Brown Street.

The lady at the back in the apron has an incredibly thick head of hair. Nice photo.
