We do not yet have much information about Welsh families. We vhave found quite a few English family imahes, but not bery many Welsh family images. This is a matter of numbers. Wales had a snuch smaller poulation than England and less prosperous. Both population and economic prosperity are factors in the photographic record. Our Welsh archive is thus still very limited and these photograpohs are our primary source of information about Welsh families. As far as we can tell, fashion we see in these Welsh family images are the same as in England. The only exception we have noted are the clothes worn my mostly older women in the villages were folk styles were still worn to some extent in the late-19th century. We note an unidentified Port Barry family. They seem a substantial middle-class family. The portrait is undated, but looks like it was takern in the 1890s. There are five children from infancy to about 15 years old. The two boys wear matching Norfolk suits with Eton collars. The two girls wear matching dresses even though they are different ages.
