Clockwise from top left are: Frank (Mabel's son), Raymond Richardson, Frank Richardson, Ronald Richardson, Charles Richardson, Joseph Murray (Mabel's husband), Mabel Murray, Ronnie Richardson (Raymond's wife) and two of Ronnie's relations. Of her children only Violet and James are not present (possibly predeceased?) . Unfortunately the distortion at the top of the picture (especially on Raymond) is caused by cellotape damage.
