Photos Emily and Herbert Potter and a son (George Henry?)
Aunt Emily is wearing the same blouse as in the photo with her mother and (I think) brother Samuel, so I guess it was taken at a similar time, i.e. c. 1915, probably after Herbert had died or I imagine both sons would have been in the photo.
It looks like Granddad may have had photos of all of his siblings and his mother to remember them by when he was at sea (but I haven't seen - or haven't recognised - one of his father from this era)
