From around the 1920’s, we believe the chap on the left is George Hopper, our step-uncle. But who are the others in this ukulele band?

Probably photographed in Newcastle c1940s Clearly the chap getting married, and here sitting upon a 1936 BSA motorbike with Newcastle reg.
This photo, dated 23 August 1930, is marked as ‘Audrey and Daisy’, which we think are names of the children. What is the connection to us?
