In this studio portrait is Claude's grandmother, Margaret, Joseph's wife, with some grandchildren. Holding on her lap is George's daughter, Grace. In the white dress is Thomas' daughter, Winnie. In the black dress is William's daughter Jettie, and in the plaid outfit is Susan Kennedy and John Cross' son Claude Francis Cross.
Back in those times male children wore what we call dresses.
"From the mid-16th century until the late 19th or early 20th century, young boys in the Western world were unbreeched and wore gowns or dresses until an age that varied between two and eight. Breeching was an important rite of passage in the life of a boy, looked forward to with much excitement. It often marked the point at which the father became more involved with the raising of a boy.
The main reason for keeping boys in dresses was toilet training....
The change was probably made once boys had reached the age when they could easily undo the rather complicated fastenings of many Early Modern breeches and trousers."
