They are mainly the Smithers family who lived in Knockholt.<br />AWS is Alfred Waldron Smithers (1850 - 1924).<br />ERS is Emma Roberta Smithers nee Theobald (1859 - 1934), Alfred's wife. They married in 1880 and had four sons and two daughters.<br />Weenie (not Wallis) was the family nickname for Alfred and Emma's eldest daughter, Florence Smithers (1882 - 1962). I assume that Weenie is the girl looking over ERS's shoulder.<br />The Smithers youngest son was Norman (1887 - 1976) and although I can't quite make it out, it looks like that is the name for the boy to the right of ERS.<br />If Norman is, say 10 years old, making Weenie 15 (?) that makes the date of the photo about 1897.<br /><br />Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07856364995483256563noreply@blogger.com
