Another copy of this photograph has recently appeared, probably from a collection associated with the Torrance family.
This may mean that Margaret Torrance (b. 1913), the oldest daughter of William & Kate (née Elliott) Torrance appears on the photograph
William Torrance(c1880-1923) traded as a fruiterer and seedsman at 1 Church Street, after working for and taking over from Henry Pask
Any further names would be very welcome
