Please let us know if you can help identify these children. Thanks!

This photo is potentially Mrs. Casey's Store in Flinton. I've received some new information to the contrary which I will follow up on and confirm here in future!
(Mrs. Casey's daughter's first name was Jeanine. Mrs. Casey also had a son named Cyril. The far room contained a pool table and a shuffleboard table. I remember my brother Barry and I buying penny candies at Mrs. Casey's store from Jeanine with money given to us by our grandfather, Wilfrid Lessard in the mid to late 1960's.)

This was the home of Fred A. York (1876-1922) and his wife Mabel Jane Wagar (1879-1962). I believe she lived here until about the time of her death. My mother, Meryl York, was born in this house in 1932. Fred York was a blacksmith whose shop was across the road in the building that became Davison's Garage (since torn down). This house had been a store and Mom said you could still see the bell for ringing for help. Fred A. York's parents Frederick Haner York (1840-1888) and Margaret Cummings (1840-1927) were storekeepers in Flinton from the 1880s and Margaret continued on after his death.

the woman off to the right is the star of the show with that coat and hair and the seamed stockings.
