The photo is of my Grandfather & Grandmother, Henry George Maffia died 16th March 1920, 2 days before my Mother (Eileen Mary) was born. Died from the after affects of mustard Gas poisoning in WW1. My Grandmother Elizabeth (Stracey) brought up 8 children from then on. The baby is John, who died shortly after this photo was taken. Where did you copy the photo from? As the original is hanging on my wall!!
