I’m attaching a photograph that came from my Grandmother’s photo box.  I have wondered about it for many, many years and just can’t figure out who is in the photo.  The fact that it was in my Gran’s possession would suggest to me that it was a family who were related to her in some way.  I don’t think it is any close family, but as my Gran was brought up by an Aunt I have always been of the opinion that the photo is to do with that side of the family.  The two family names that I think are relevant here are Weir and Linn, from Greenock.  The Weir family is related to me, but the Linn family is only related through marriage.  I don’t even know what date the photo was taken, but feel that it is the early part of the 1900s.

I posted this photo onto a Facebook page, and was inundated with suggestions and comments, which was very pleasing.  It has given me renewed vigour in trying to find out who the people in the photo might have been.  I will now be analysing certain parts of my family tree to try to work it all out.  Hopefully I will be able to come back here with an answer very soon!
