Based on the apparent age of Erna Sanntrock (born 1881), the date of this photograph is likely 1885-1886.
Which boy is Henry or Adolph is not apparent. Louise Sanntrock is the seated girl, so Margaret is the standing woman.
====
From a group of photographs in this accession related to the Sanntrock family which lived in Hoboken from the later part of the 19th century until the early 20th century. Consisting of images of first and second generation German immigrants, the group reflects their German heritage and culture in fashions and content (some photographs are from Germany, apparently of relatives.)
