These photos are really neat! The era and dress styles are amazing! A true treasure! 

Is there any inscription on reverse side of photo maybe where it was taken.

 Very nice

I don't have the photo, but I'm pretty sure this was taken in Hackney London England. Their birthplace.

I've been told they were 6 years old as of this taken.

Nice to see this 1927 photo of your father, Bill, and his twin brother.  Your profile of him is also interesting.  My father always bought Ford cars.  Maybe your Dad helped make one of them.

Maybe. I do recall Dad working the shutdown in summer as he helped in the retooling for the new model engines. Plant 2. Windsor.

Oakville became the main assembly plant for certain models.

Thanks for sharing the photo with us Bill. Nice photo of Dad and Uncle. The background is interesting any idea if it was taken in a studio or elsewhere?

I'm saying studio because the flat they lived in was an opened concept that Dad told me they gathered around the potbelly stove.
That was my thought as well. I could figure out what kind of household item is behind the table.
