Ellen arabella, Mary Isabella, Florence & Harriet louisa inkster5/22/2813
Photo by Ryder Larsen Red River Settlement (Winnipeg 1866-1870 This photo shows the four eldest daughters of Mary Todd & William Inkster: Ellen Arabella (left), Mary Isabella 'Bella' (right?), Florence (front centre), and Harriet Louisa (seated centre?).

A version of this photo circulating on genealogy websites appears to have the names mixed up. The girl in the centre looks to be the oldest, which means she must be Harriet Louisa and not Bella. This photo also suggests that the published birthdates for some of these women are be incorrect. This photo was printed no later than 1870 based on the "Ruperts Land" label, but the girl in the centre looks to be about 12 years old -- meaning she would have been born in the 1850s.
