This picture was taken by
Wm Hall, 21 Argyle Street
(opposite Virginia Street), Glasgow
who first appears in the
Glasgow Post Office Directory
for 1880 - 1881.
On the back we have
"Q's Great-Grandmother - late 19thC"
and on the page beside it, "(Colvins?)" .Only one of Queenie's great grandmothers
lived near Glasgow, Sarah (Dunigan) McGee.
Assuming it is the Colvins, who are the children? If we accept a 2 year difference in ages, if the older is a boy, then it's Thomas and Susan in 1882. (I know small boys wore skirts in those days but a 2½-year-old in a dress like that?) If the older is a girl, then it's Susan and Bessie in 1884.Plus Margaret (McGee) and Dan Colvin (left)
and my guess would be John McGee.
