Unfortunately George Verdon Yates doesn't appear on any census (b Q4 1851 d 1853) to see how he fitted in, but maybe George the photographer pinched his initial if it was a family name?
None of which helps date your photos! lol

Thanks Merry - that would fit as the family lived in Eccleshall Bierlow most of their lives.

Thanks Phoenix. I don't know who the girl is. The couple had many children, but I am wondering whether it could possibly have been their youngest daughter who was born in 1876, and who is in the photo on this thread -
