Vi and Jim Wright
I’ve “rescued” an old photograph of Vi WRIGHT and her brother Jim WRIGHT which was taken at the J. Fairbairn Studio in Deseronto, Ontario, Canada in 1910. The two children appear to be about 2-3 years old at the time the photograph was taken. I’m hoping to locate someone from this WRIGHT Family so that the photograph can be returned to its rightful place, with family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,
Shelley
Date & Place: in Deseronto, Hastings County, ON K0K 1X0, Canada

The simple act of leaving a comment shows you care.
They're like little dolls - and circa 1910, you can tell who is a girl and who is a boy! :) A found photo, can you help Vi and Jim of Canada return home?

In her later years, she wore a T-shirt that said, "If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy".

Ever think the reason you find these photos is because the person has died and their pictures are found at junk store?

Is the assumption that this is a girl based on the name on the photo? Was it only "Vi"? Could be short for Victor or Vincent or another boy's name unless otherwise indicated. Boys often wore dresses as toddlers and I feel like that would be a very unusual hairstyle for a little girl.

My mom sports the exact same hairstyle in her portrait taken in 1959. Think it's fairly unisex.

Exactly... I have a photo of my grandpa wearing a dress. Boys usually wore dresses until they had been potty trained for a while!

I guess it only matters if we're looking for the family. It might be helpful to consider that one of the two could have been a boy.

Have photo of my uncle in a dress about 1916
I sported this hairstyle in the mid 1950's. My two daughters (one born in 1979, the other in 1991) both wore this 'do'. I don't think a 'time' really applies for it.

I like that they were able to have their picture taken even though they didn't have new shoes.

Haha ! But I think because kids grow so fast shoes were hand me downs until they stopped growing. That’s what my granny told me.

I think they are both boys, as well, and the "Vi" stands for Vivian.

The boy looks like my brother when he was that age same facial features, and the little girl looks like my great grandmother when she was younger also same facial features, so weird.

Well, as with every time there are fashionable styles. When boys wore dresses, they typically would have a side part, and girls would have a middle part, to distinguish between the two. Also girls might have an off the shoulder dress. This is hard because a mohawk wasn't a common enough style to say for sure if it was a boy or a girl. The dress reads a little boyish to me though. Could still be a girl, of course. Just conjecture.
