Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Please help date photo Burroughs boys
« on: Monday 20 March 17 23:20 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you Jim & Carol. 

I hadn't considered that they weren't brothers, but now that you say that, I agree. The date agrees with what I was able to find on the photographer.

So now to talk to hubby's uncle with this new info & see what he might know.

Thanks for your help

That's the one! 

Hubby's uncle is sure the boys are Arthur & Bernard. I thought perhaps they went back to England when they were older & had the photo done then, but that doesn't jive with the info on the photographer.

The boys are said to be Arthur (b:1898) & Bernard Burroughs (b:1903), living in Portsmouth area before they emigrated. Here's the photo....

Interesting thought ...  You're better at this than I. I hadn't thought to look for that.

I have been told the boys in this photo are my husband's great uncles, Arthur & Bernard Burroughs, however I don't think that is possible.  Arthur & Bernard were 7 & 3 respectively when they emigrated to Canada in 1906. They are older than that in this photo.
What I could find about the photographer (with help from other people on Rootschat), it seems he worked in the late 1880s, which doesn't jive.    ???

I'm hoping dating the photo may help solve this puzzle.  Many thanks!   :)

Exactly!!! I don't believe the boys in the photo are who I was told they are... which is why I'm trying to sort out the photographer, etc. 

If that death JJen found is this photographer, he was dead before the oldest boy was born.

Thanks so much keyboard86 & JJen. You sure have been busy while I was at work!

The 2 boys that I was told were in the photo, immigrated to Canada with their family in 1906, so this photo would be before then. The thing is, they were only 7 & 3 when they immigrated, and the boys look much older than that. I'm hoping to nail down when the photo could have been taken, to help sort this out.

Thanks so much for the great leads you have given me.  :)
