I doubt that the child is (Walter) Reginald Barker as he was born in 1892 to Stephen’s 1st wife Annie who died a week after his birth. The child born in 1897, son of Ruth, was Daniel. Reg was my grandfather and was brought up by his paternal grandparents when Stephen left Hadstock and went to Newmarket.
Thanks very much, Christine. The age of the boy is so difficult to tell from the photo. If it was Reg, then he would be 9 in 1901. If Daniel, then the boy would be 4. What do you think? The original caption came from Diane Butler.
