| Standing is John William Smith, Sr. | ___________ | | Seated left to right is John William Smith, Jr., Albert Smith (my father), and Janet Aird Smith (nee Jessie Finnie, Jessie Finney). | | | I would say by the ages of my uncle and father they would be around 3 to 4 years old, which would make the picture taken around 1918 to 1919. The picture is on glass (you can see a piece missing at the top left). You can see lines because the whole picture is cracked. | | | | | (this is a lovely photograph Wendy, thank you for sharing it, Carole) | | | | | More information from Wendy about her family: | | | [Link: The Canadian Descendents of John William Smith, Snr, and Janet Finnie] | |
