Vintage glass negatives from an antique shop

I picked up for a few pounds a box of glass negatives in a vintage shop. Written on the box it stated Edwardian 1930s. But the Edwardian period is normally defined as that to the First World War. I suspect this is more 1920s. I have digitised these and show the set in the vain hope that something about them will be recognised.

So, this is the set with minimal descriptions:

Baby 0n chair 1
Baby 0n chair 2
Baby in field 1
Baby in field 2
Baby in pram 1
Baby in pram 2
Boy and man in the countryside
Boy with baby 1
Boy with baby 2
Girl and boy
Man 1 playing organ
Man 2 playing organ 1
Man 2 playing organ 2
Man in country 1
Man in country 2
Portrait of a man
Two dolls
Woman and child 1
Woman and child 2
Woman in a chair

This is the box lid:

This is the setup I used to copy the negatives:

Set up view 2

So if anyone can help identify anything here it would be interesting to know more detail…
