Hi Everyone,

Please excuse the cross posting.

I have put up some unidentified photos at
http://au.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/monbollican_mama
(There's an underscore between the last 2 words)

Please have a look at them, I'd love to know who they are!
I'd also appreciate any advice on dating the photos.

The first 2 were found in a junk yard in Mt Evelyn. I have no other info at all on these photos.
One of the young men in the first photo looks a bit like someone in another old photo I have, but that would be just too much of a coincidence!
The wedding photo is badly damaged, being torn into 2 pieces.

The other three are photos which belonged to my partner's grandmother, Florence Maude Hopper (Bunny) who m. Allan George Beattie.
They are all "Post Card" photos.

The first of these is of Sarah and Kate McNeill, mother and baby (not sure which is Sarah and which is Kate), and the second is of a boy, Charles Holloway. Both were taken by the same photographer, W.J. Howship of Benalla. The names are written on the reverse in what appears to be the same handwriting, which is quite different from what I have seen of Bunny's. As her husband's family moved from Euroa to Ararat, these two may be connected to the Beatties, although they are not names I have managed to trace yet.

The last, of a mother (?) and baby has no photographer's name and no other identification.

I look forward to your responses!

Thanks

Gail
