Sepia Saturday - Two Little Children

This weeks Sepia Saturday picture shows two little children which immediately brings to mind my favourite photo of my maternal grandmother, Daisy Marion MORGAN and her sister Clarice May MORGAN.
Clarice was born in September 1905 and Daisy in August 1908 both at Moyhu, Victoria.
I think this gorgeous photo may have been taken in about 1910 or 11.

Nana and Aunty Tod2

Their great grandmother, Isabella nee BEATON  did survive a shipwreck when she came to Australia in 1841 on board the ill-fated ship the "India".

Unnamed photos - Anyone know who these people are?

Photo labelled "Unknown taken in Melbourne".  

This lovely lady may have had some connection to the Cross Keys Hotel at Essendon. 

These photos are some that belonged to my GG Uncle Alexander Morgan. He was a son of the Morgan family who owned the original Cross Keys Hotel.
Alexander went to New Zealand in 1886 and was the head accountant for the New Zealand Treasury Department in the early 1900s.  
The following photo was labelled "unknown, taken in Wellington"  
I'm posting them on the off chance that someone may recognise them.

And the next photo is labelled Miss Annie (or Bessie) and Miss Kate - Unknown
