Armstrong and Taylor Women |
| The older woman in the middle of this photo is thought to be Alice Armstrong, nee Dawson. On her right is her daughter Mary Alice, on her left is Mary Ann Taylor, the woman on the far left of the picture who is only partially visible is possibly Mary Ann's mother. Also shown is Willie Taylor, but who the baby is, we don't know. The photograph would probably have been taken during the 1930's |
