The chances to identify the people in the photo using just genealogical community are very small. One other option is to search for similar images in images.google.com. If you are not familiar with it, open the site, click on the camera icon and take it from there. It is easy.

The photo can also be cropped to create separate image files for each face to run them through Google.

I have also been told that myheritage.com uses a facial recognition software of some kind. If you keep your family tree on their web site, including photographs, it will supposedly notify you if the software identifies a similarly looking person in another family tree.

Good luck in your search.

Unfortunately, I also don't know who this little girl was. But it is always a good idea to spend some time on the exact production date of the photo. The photographer opened up his first studio (when he was only 17) in 1877 and died in 1915. The studio in 83 Bishopsgate Str. (London City) was sold in 1900 to an Alfred James Lewis who in 1909 was mentioned in a bankruptcy report in the London Gazette. (See: http://www.photolondon.org.uk/pages/details.asp?pid=8732; and Robert's note [06-23-2009, 11:21 PM] at http://forum.casebook.org/archive/index.php/t-2857.html). I don't know for how Lewis & photo studio did struggle, but the brand "W. Wright - 83 Bishopsgate, City" differs from the earlier one (see: http://avaldeseblog.blogspot.de/2010/11/need-help-with-19th-century-london.html), therefore it is most likely that this is a CDV after Lewis took over the shop. I am trying to say that the photo was made some yrs before the 1920's, maybe around 1910. The little girl's birthday would then be a little earlier too. That's all I have to add. Kind regards, Alex.
