Is there anything on this photo that you give me a rough date of when it was taken. John was born around 1868 if that helps.
Thanks.

Hi NJ :)
I've got photos of 'sporty' family members that are mid 1890s- early 1900s that have a similar look.

Hi Gadget :)
Thanks; there is nothing at all on the back of the photo to help and I suspect that it has been cut down as the edges are very rough (thanks grandpa I guess you did that ::) ).

Oh don't you want to tell them off when they do that! Someone (maybe my father :-X ) stuck sellotape over some damaged photos. It took me ages to restore them!
I think he looks in his mid-late 20s. My grandfather had a similar hair style and 'tache circa 1900.

I agree with his estimated age of mid-late 20s. I thought I had seen this ome before then realised he is the man in your avatar 8)
