Quite likely mistaken - can you date the pic by the clothes, surroundings etc. - it should be fairly obvious then if it's your grandmother or your mum's grandmother - easy to mistake when you're chatting to your mum. You know how old you are, presume you know the year of your mum's birth, and probably your grandad's so try dating the pic that way, should give you the answer. Regards Looby |

Do their clothes give any hint of era?....... not easy if the family weren't too well off and seemed to wear the same type of clothes for many years. I have too many James too, ......except for when they named their sons after their father William, as did their brothers of course! Gwyn |
