It's been pointed out to me that it's been some time since I've shared the detective hat with my readers, so today's post will do just that. What can you discover about the three youngsters featured in today's photograph?
Let's see if we can identify the children, come up with an approximate date this photograph was taken and maybe even a possible location. If we are really lucky, perhaps we can find a descendant who would like to claim the original image.
Ready to go? Here's the reverse of the photograph:
Happy researching!

They were the children of Stanley (11 Sep 1882 - 25 Jul 1974) and Alice J (nee O Rourke) Berry (21 Mar 1888 - 2 Dec 1961).
The photo dates to c. 1923.
Wow, that was quick! The person who wrote the inscription on the back of the photo was careful to provide full names of the children, and their birth dates, which is so helpful.
ReplyDeleteYour info mirrors what I found, too. Great job, Iggy!
I was frustrated by not being able to determine what happened to the sister Helen M.
DeleteA "Helen M Berry" married Cecil A Bulbeck on 05 May 1962 in Sonoma, California. She died on 4 Nov 2012. She appears to have been his second wife.
