Please estimate an age for William Ross in this photograph 1903
« on: Saturday 13 August 16 04:00 BST (UK) »
Can someone please estimate the age of the person in this photograph and tell me anything of interest you may see.

The back of the photo is dated 1903 and  I am told the person is William Ross who was born in 1851, however I am not sure this person looks to be in his 50s?

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Well, he could be in his fifties.  His moustache is quite grey/white - unless that is a trick of the light.

Otherwise, I'd say at least forties.
