Another family picnic in Cornwall

Here Lorna (with her long plaits) sets off with her brother Theo (the very tall boy at the back of the shot) on a family picnic in 1931 or 1932. Lorna would have been 17 or 18 at the time that this photograph was taken, and Theo 19 or 20.

We believe that Lorna's father Albert was the photographer, and that the others in the shot are Lorna's Uncle Arnold with six of his eight children. If we are right about the cousins, these would be:

Cousin Arthur (16 or 17) - at the back of the shot looking away
Cousin Naomi and Cousin Miriam (15 or 16, 13 or 14) - the two older girls with short hair
Cousin Joan (12 or 13) - the second youngest girl
Cousin Helen (9 or 10) - the youngest girl
Cousin Graham (8 or 9) - the small boy with his head turned back to look at Theo

The two siblings of Uncle Arnold and Auntie Eveline's children who are not pictured would be the youngest: Cousins David (5 or 6) and Roger (4 or 5).
