Beleived to be Sarah Atkins,mother of Louisa Atkins, my great,great grandmother Who are the girls?
The Daguerrotype is damaged. The photo is believed to be Sarah Atkins, mother of Louisa Atkins/Cleaver and ten other children. Date not known.She is my great, great grandmother. But I can't work out who the children are.
Can any current Atkins whose ancestors were of Islington fill in the detail?? Who are they, what are their names?

Louisa Atkins born 1878. Married William Cleaver of Islington around 1899. Seeking her descendents.
Photo of Louisa Atkins who later married William Cleaver. In 1896 when she was 18 she gave birth to a son, William, and no father was named on the birth certificate. Louisa worked as a laundress and lived at 16, Bremerton Street, Islington.
When she married William Cleaver, he adopted young William as his son. He may well have been his actual son, conceived and born out of wedlock, for William and Louise later to marry. In 1901 they lived at 74 st James Road, Islington and he was a builders labourer.
Louisa had many siblings. It appears that her mother Sarah Atkins, by 1901 had had 11 children, her last child Florence when she was 51 years old. The births were 1-2years apart mostly.
Walter Atkins born in Islington in 1849, married Sarah from Eaton-Bray, Bedfordshire, around 1869. and in 1901 they lived at 44, Brewery Road, Islington. He worked as a carman, taking care of horses.
Their children were Elizabeth, 1869-Benjamin,1871-Clarissa 1873, Charles,1876-LOUISA,1878-Phoebe,1881-Walter,1888-Johnathon,1890-Benjamin, 1893-Sarah,1896-Florence,1898.
All London born, in the sound of Bow Bells.
This is a vast part of my family, would love to find.
