This photo was taken in Batavia, near the Theresiakerk / Theresiakerkweg… as far as I know. I don't know any professions, only that my grandfather Thomas Cochrane Drysdale(not on photo) worked at the Government House Service (and sergeant at the KNIL) and died on / at the Burma railway in 1943.
Regards, Ben Franken .... William , I had been holding this one for a while , Theresiakerk / Theresiakerkweg Translates to Theresia church / Theresia church road , KNIL is Koninklijk Nederlandsch-Indisch Leger (Royal Dutch-East Indies Army), the Thomas Cochrane Drysdale(not on photo) above is here .

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.
Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.
Professions also help.
'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.
Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
