Another glimpse into the past

Another glimpse into the past
Unfortunately, this is just a scan from a scan on plain paper. However, I might sometime try scanning a better copy that I came across a couple of days ago, that was printed several years ago on photo paper. (Later: tried to replace this post with a better version but it won't let me do it). I have to go out shortly for the whole morning and maybe part of the afternoon, but will list everyone in this old photo later.

Back row, standing, left to right:
1. William Henry Carden - brother of Alice Gladwell Bassindale (nee Carden), my paternal Grandmother. He was 9 years younger than his sister.
2. Daisy Elizabeth Carden (nee Jinks, 1884 or 1885-1964), wife of William Henry Carden. They were married in 1908, in Peterborough, England.
3. Vera Gladwell Bassindale (later, Handforth). This is my Auntie Vera.
4. Kathleen Joan ("Joan") Carden, daughter of William Henry and Daisy Elizabeth Carden. Born in 1914.
5. Tom Carden Bassindale (my father), born in 1907.
6. Alice Mary Bassindale ("Molly"), my father's sister, 1904 - 1967. She never married.
7. Alice Gladwell Bassindale (nee Carden), my paternal Grandmother.
8. Albert Elijah Bassindale, timber merchant, my paternal Grandfather. He and Alice Gladwell had four children - Mollie, Tom, Vera and Nora.

Seated:
1. My paternal Great Grandparents, Reverend Henry Carden (born 28th December 1850) and Eliza Jane Carden (nee Shadick). She was born about 15 miles from Nettlestead, Kent, England.

Sitting in front:
1. William Henry and Daisy Elizabeth's son, Philip Ewart Carden ("Phil"), born 1918. I believe they also had 3 older children: Eva Mary Carden ("Mollie", 1909-1965), Henry John Carden ("Henry John" or "John", 1911-1970), and Kathleen Joan Carden ("Joan", 1914-?). Philip later married Violet May Lumley of Gravesend.
2. Nora Bassindale, my father's youngest sister.

Apparently, the photo was taken in front of a rustic shelter, which was covered with roses in their (whose? My grandparents'?) garden in Green Road, Hall Green, Brmingham, England. Reverend Henry Carden and Eliza Jane lived a few hundred yards away in Sarehole Road, Hall Green, Birmingham, England.

My brother (John Carden Bassindale) thought this photo may have been taken on 6th July 1925, which was Reverend Henry Carden and Eliza Jane's Golden Wedding Anniversary. If this is correct, Mollie would have been 22, and my father Tom would have been 18, Vera 14, Nora 10, Joan 11 and Phil 8.
