Yes. This was the first Pyle who moved from Devon to London area.
He is my great grandfather.

Ohh, thank you all for your quick replies and helpful comments!
Ever so grateful for cleaning up the picture, it looks great!

I've puzzled a few bits together:
- if it is a wedding and the lady in white sitting on the front row, then it must be Helena Seaford Beavis. She married William James Pyle on September 5th 1898. Attached below you read the marriage certificate.
- The marriage must be before 1899, because that the year is when William Pyle (father of) dies

so in conclusion, I would date the picture a few years earlier than your estimates. Is this a possibility?

Hi all,

I need some help with the attached picture. I've puzzeled a few things together. I am fairly certain that this is the Pyle family. The person holding the dog on his lap is William James Pyle. His mustach matches another picture I have with his name written on. The woman sitting right of him must be he is wife Helena Seaford Beavis. The person holding the black high hat is James Pyle.

Questions:
- They all look very smart, I think it is a wedding. Any other clues?
- How old would this picture be?
- the photographer is Foster, 39 Preston Street, Brighton. That is a bit odd, since the Pyle family lived around Aylesbeare, Devon. Or was Brighton a special place to celebrate a wedding?
- Any other information you can derive from this picture?

Thanks!

Peter
