This is my great grandfather William Richard Collis 1861-1922

He is the man in the hat standing. Beside him is his wife Laura Sophia (nee Martin).
The caption says they are in Kruegersdorf South Africa. Two of the seated young people are their children. I don't know when it was taken or why they were in South Africa, as they lived in Sydney Australia.



I love this photo of his family. This is a family afternoon tea in Auburn Sydney. Reuben is seated in the deck chair on the left. I think it was taken around 1913-14 judging by the children.
