Percy was the youngest of four sons born to Stephen Rackley Deane and Victoria Turner. Percy also had two adult step sisters by his father's first marriage. Stephen Deane especially adored his youngest son, and never really recovered from his loss.
The boy in the center of the photo was likely Percy, though long ago a Deane family member identified the boy as Percy's same-age cousin Deane Gilmore. The Gilmore family visited in Leeds a year before Percy died. It seems unlikely Deane Gilmore would have been included in this photo but not Percy. The other boys in the photo were identified as "Bert" to the left, and Howard to the right. The album includes an individual portrait Bert, identified as him, and taken on the same day. The eldest boy, Stephen Homer Deane was not included in the photo, possibly because he was away at school in Kent's Hill.
