Group in Worcester England
This is a 1898 photo, Eliza Davis (nee Preston) is on the bottom left corner. I have now confirmed, thanks to the university of Toronto, that this is a photo of women at the Clains Church in Worcestershire. They are a group of women whose husbands have died. It is a support group. Eliza's age was about 45 years at the time of the photo. For a small town, that's a lot of widowed women. 1898 was one year before her son William was sent to Canada as a Home Child. Eliza's husband John Davis had died 8 years prior and the children were being cared for by her mother-in-law, Hanna Davis (EWINS). Eliza and John had 5 boys, Alfred, George, William, James and little Herbert who was born just 2 months before his father died. In the 1911 census Eliza notes she has two children who have died. One girl died as a baby. Herbert must have died before 1911.
