John and James - identical twins (sons of James & Janet Gilmour) born December 15, 1926 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
The first photo was taken on the porch at 428 Avenue E in Saskatoon (Gilmour family home) - the photo says that Jim (James) is on the left while Jack (John) is on the right - from the age of the babies, this looks like spring or summer 1926.
What beautiful boys - James was 44 when they were born, and I believe Janet was in her early 40s - two for the price of one! They must have been such proud parents!
(It's possible that James Sr. was also a twin - he had a sister, Margaret, who was born in the same year, 1882, but died as an infant. See Tom Henry's research on the Gilmour family).
Second photo: Mrs. Henderson (left side of photo - a friend of Janet's - I think she may have emigrated with her to Canada) with Janet and the two boys - hard to tell which is John and which is James.
From the age of the boys, and the background, I assume this is summer, 1926.
Don't you love the ladies' hats?
