  		Daughters of Bert and Mary Royes There is some debate about who is who. The one on the right with the round face is most like Mary. If this is the case, then the girls are Barbara Maud (who died at 16) in the rear, then Jean, Ruth and Mary from left to right. The photo would have been taken when Barbara was about 14 (let's say 1919) and the others are aged 7, 5 and 10 respectively??
