I'm going to stick my neck out here and put names to faces from that group photograph.

Thats obviously JB senior in the middle of the Piccy.....the question is, which one is JB the engraver....it could be either of the two guys on the back left or the two on the back right (we can rule out the middle two because there's no facial resemblane whatsoever to the piccy of JB as a older guy, above)..

So it's one out of 4..which? The answer is JB the engraver is the guy stood on the far right of the piccy, holding his own son, also JB, born two years previously...that's his wife Elizabeth sat in front of him holding his daughter Nola, born 1900.

I think I can name a few more, but I got to run for a hour or so...
