Thank you all for your replies. At the other end of the spectrum I have a fascinating studio photograph of my grandfather taken in India (where he and his siblings were born) about 1896, in a knee length dress with a frilly top, ankle socks and Mary Janes, and long hair curling down over his shoulders. He was probably about 3 or 4 at the time. Furthermore, when he went to England a little later he was initially sent to a girl's school. I cannot however see any great likeness to other members of the family, although he is recognizably the same child as in later male mode photos, in one of which he has quite a strong likeness to his sisters.
