Could this be Annie and Clarence Landry who died in the Halifax Explosion?

Hundreds of photos spread out in two homes, one in the United States and the other in Canada as cousins sift through memories of two brothers and their siblings, who survived the Halifax Explosion. The brothers are Joseph and Daniel Landry. The present meets the past, as younger versions of our grandfathers and their families lie in front of us. Images are photographed or scanned, then forwarded to each other with the hope that family members will be able to help us identify the people we don’t know.

Then this photo is discovered.. Could it be?

In an interview, a couple years ago, I had been told that Uncle Dan had a picture of  his wife Annie and their son Clarence who died in the Halifax Explosion?  Could this be them? 

How are your identification skills?  My cousin Linda Landry Horne and I would like to know what you think. Do you think this could be them? Why or why not?

The first picture below is the one we found that we think could be Annie and Clarence. 


The second is a copy of the "picture on the wall" that hung behind our great Aunt Anna Bella’s bed.  
Annie (Adams) Landry is in the back row - third from the right.
