I think its Son ...because he looks mid 30s years old...according to father D.O.B photo quality doesn't fit to be father

Thanks Loord74,

Is there any way of telling by the clothing?

I agree with Loord...This looks to be an 1880s photos but Jim will have a  better idea. If you could show the back including the corners it will help to pin down the date.

Thanks Carol,

Unfortunately it is just an emailed jpg, no idea what the card stock looks like.

He didn't marry until 1909, at about age 45, he looks much younger to me??

Still hoping that someone may be able to narrow down the date by the clothing worn?

Any advice or suggestions are gratefully received.

Thank you,

Jo  :)
