Charles Streatfield-James married Bessie McKenzie in 1886. She is in the middle and family resemblance indicates that at least one sister is in the shot. Bessie is probably holding Ralph James.

    There are no names supplied in Charles' album for this photograph but I am fairly sure it shows the extended Mackenzie family of Calcutta. Charles is on the extreme left (wearing a cricket cap) and his first wife Elizabeth Ellen Mackenzie is in the centre with their first child Ralph on her knee. Ralph Streatfeild-James joined the East Surrey Regiment in 1910 and died of wounds received in the battle for Morval on the Somme in October 1916. I believe that the father of the family, Nicholas William Mackenzie, is the gentleman in the while suit. He was a senior executive of the Bank of Bengal. The photo must date from about 1892, since Ralph was born in 1890 and Charles was on furlough in England by 1893.
