Names I can maybe make out from the list:
Benjamin Bird? Mabel and Wm Deacon Ted and George Evelyn and Wm P and Annie Edward and George Montague? < on reflection, I don't think that is their surname EDIT Dorothy says refs to Roebuck may be a pub.

I see DMS appear several times. I don't suppose any of the images show a wedding ring (or lack of)?

Merry — thanks for posting all the images
 Numbering of photos - apparently there had been in the past, some attempt at indexing them but friend found the numbers on the photos didn’t relate to the indexes…. So he’s attempting to re-list them in some sort of order. Well done in ‘translating’ some of the awful handwriting into names! The Roebuck is a pub, the other side of Reading - you would have needed transport to get there - at the time, bicycle, horse & cart, too far out for local omnibus - or a posh car! there is of course now a bus ….There is amongst the many other photos - one of two little boys standing near a motorcycle - he mentioned he’d put that on Facebook to find out the make of the cycle ….. I haven’t seen it. Ah, interesting to learn she is sitting in a front garden… it was the high wall that made me think it was the back…. So yes, maybe sitting in the garden of No.16, which could have been very large, and was subsequently split, to build the modern Nos. 18/20…..? …. Or as Maggie says, maybe sitting in No.22?

The pictures are just a few from a collection of very old negatives (1913?) which I have been lent, and part of the “index” which goes with them. (The Roebuck, for example, is mentioned as the apparent location of several pictures) However, since there is no number on the actual negatives, it is quite possible that these have been put back at some time in the “wrong” numbered pocket and so the title (even if you can read it !) may not apply)…..However, I have added the number to each picture so you can see which folder it came from. I have changed some of the negatives into B&W positives and, in some cases, colourised the result. It’s a long shot, but I wonder if anyone recognizes the people or places That’s why I took up the challenge  Thanks to everyone for helping me!

At the top of second image I think it says Group at Wantage and then repeated. There is a pub named the Roebuck but there is or was also a Roebuck Hotel in Oxford Rd.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the 'at XYZ's are the names of houses. Of course if I can read them (eg The Elms) they are completey commonplace!
What does it say for number 88.... something field, beginning with A?
