This is Beanie at about 2 years old.

This picture is of Harold (I think) who looks to be about 15 years old, and Hilda, who is probably about 10. (Hilda passed away at about 11 years old), and Bena who looks about 4 or 5 years old.

 



This is Bena about 8 or 9 years old. I believe it must have been taken then because Bena's father , Samuel Edwards, passed away when she was 9. After this,  the family was in a much reduced financial situation, and probably wouldn't have had the the money for things like portraits to be taken. 


I am guessing this was taken when Bena was a teenager. It seems cards were sent to one another as Christmas presents- and this was a card she sent at Christmas to relatives back in England. So, this was probably when she 16 years old, and was about to be married.After this, she would have had pictures taken with her husband, my grandfather.
