Marjory & Phyllis with Percy at New Brighton c1908

Marjory & Phyllis with Percy at New Brighton c1908
While I am sure the girls are Marjory & Phyllis, I am guessing that the boy is Percy. It could be Edgar as his age might be nearer right for his size. He was blind, but I don't know whether this was from birth or from a later date. I also am unaware of the degree of sight loss. This boy appears to be looking normally at one of the girls - no straining, no leaning forward.
The date is guesswork. The twins were born in 1903 and they look about five in this shot.

I agree, Tom. They were obviously a family with a number of keen photographers. There are some professional portraits but most are informal shots that are most likely to have been taken by family or friends.
I had to do a bit of restoration, on this one, around the boy's neck and collar, where the surface had been scratched, leaving a rough white patch.
