Huston children

Huston children

circa 1896

"This is a studio photo taken in Lyttelton. The girls are the first four female children born to Hannah and James Huston ( a boy is missing from the photo) Hannah Huston would be about 25 years old. The girls are: May born 1888 on Hannah's right. May never married. Standing holding a basket is Edith born 1889. Hilda, on Hannah's right born 1891 and Linda born 1895. Edith married William Neil Sergison. Hilda married P[e]ter Harkess a[n]d Linda married Syde Soughagy. Photography was in its infancy and to avoid blurring the children would have had to sit perfectly still." - Contributor's note
