That is quite alright. 
I'm afraid it isn't his father, I have many photos of his father, he was a strong man and an acrobat and his is grand-daughter was a contortionist as well. It must have been a mate of his. He was a really lovely bloke although he loved a good scrap.

I haven't put it on the restoration board yet...I have so many old photos that need restoring and I am trying to do it myself but it is painstaking work.

Another amazing photo! What a family to have, I think it's wonderful. As they would be called - show business people. Everyone always wants entertaining. They would have been in athletics, sport, music, tv etc had they been in today's world. fabulous.

It's a shame I inherited none of their talent though.

That was what I had always assumed. Just getting work wherever it was going. It's just common sense I suppose.

The photo of the bricklayers was taken very close to Notting Dale, Fulham I believe around the turn of the century. My gg grandad's daughter (my great grandmother) married a man from Notting Dale in fact (Albert Morgan).
Maybe a few of your ancestors are in that photo.

Early bath chairs were small open carriages with a hood which were drawn by a small horse, pony or donkey. Later they were simply pushed by an attendant. These latter chairs would be found for hire particularly for invalids in spas etc.
Thus your bath chair owner would be someone who owned either of these and hired them out.
