Identification: tintype family sequence

[Michael Pritchard]

The Guardian newspaper (18 June 2015) ran a story from the National Museums of Scotland which has put a call out to identify the family shown in a series of tintypes.

The photographs of the ‘Margate family’ come from the collection of Bernard Howarth-Loomes, and it is thought they were bought as a set. Lettering on the small boy’s bucket in one of the images determined that the resort was Margate, in Kent. Can you help? See the images here.

They are included in
