All I have is written on the back of photograph.

Davis and Barnard Families - Plump Hill
http://www.forest-of-dean.net/gallery/fod_variety_1/

This photo was sent to me recently by Bill White who lives in Canada. I have
asked him if he would mind sharing it with everyone and he said fine whoever
would be interested in having it.

Bill and myself are related to two of the sisters in the photo. The family lived
in the Abenhall area mainly at Plump Hill. There is no place name on the photo.

The people are as follows, words exact

Daughter of Tom Davis - Tom Davis - Mary Ann Barnard - Michael Barnard
Dinah White - Hannah Meek - Alice Davis

Alice, nee Barnard was my great great grandmother and Tom Davis my great great
grandad. Bill's relative is Dinah White. The 3 ladies on the front row are
sisters and Michael is their younger brother

The father and mother of the sisters was Thomas Barnard and Elizabeth (nee
Trigg). Thomas being a farm bailiff at Folly Farm. Incidentally James and Dinah
White were the witnesses at the wedding of Thomas and Alice. I believe that
Michael went to live in Australia

Tom Davis died in1927 aged 90 years so the picture must be before that. Bill
told me that the husband of Mary Ann Barnard was dead by this time also but as
yet I haven't pieced that together

Thomas BARNARD & Elizabeth TRIGG, Abenhall
http://www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?mode=thread&id=2020#p2020

Hello would the Mary Michael and Dinah be related to Thomas Barnard who had a son Phillip Barnard?

The picture is of Eliza Jayne born 1864 daughter of Thomas & Mary Boughton Jayne
Jabez Meek born 1865 son of Elijah and Ann Roberts Meek. The picture does not say Tyrophena. My cousin wrote on the back of the picture and it stated that it was a cousin of our grandparents. The picture has been forwarded to members of the Meek Family. I guess us Americans write a little different than our English relatives??

Janice Jayne-St.Gemme

Yes.
