Date: Circa 1910

The Ord Brothers were English-born. Edward arrived in Ladysmith in 1908, aged 19. He returned to England in 1910 and returned later that year, accompanied by his two brothers James and Harry. They were very active soccer players. They were also very musical; Harry played several instruments and all three sang, performing during intermissions in theatres between movies and also in concerts with friends.
