Donna Alvarado emailed us with some details regarding the photograph:

"The old man on the far right with a cap on was my great grandfather John Trewartha, next to him is his son also named John. He is holding his niece Roberta Healey (now Murphy) and the little boy looking away is his nephew Michael Healey (deceased). The woman who is the 7th adult along starting from the right with black hair and black top is Isabella Healey (nee Trewartha) who was the mother of Roberta and Michael and was also my grandmother's (Esther) sister."
