A little request for help here:

The following wonderfully composed photo of Downton Church and cottage has been kindly supplied by Toni Price, who is thinking that one of the babies is his grandfather Thomas Hotchkiss, born 1892 and the other possibly one of his sisters.  If anyone happens to land on this page who can supply information on any of the people shown, then please contact me.  (Click on photo to enlarge).
