George and Jane Johnson
As Jane appears to be dressed in mourning attire this may have been taken between Jun and December 1913, between the death of their son George
Ernest and George, the father. It was probably taken in the back garden of 28 Grange Avenue. There was a long garden which sloped to a beck (stream)
at the bottom. The accomodation was in a flat above the shop.
George Johnson died on 30 Dec 1913 just a few months after his son George Ernest.
