Title: Help to restore please - Douglas James Rowles with his parents
Post by: TROOPER ROLLO on Friday 02 April 21 10:17 BST (UK)
This is Douglas James Rowles taken in 1910 with his parents Charles and Louisa Rowles (nee Young).
He is age 12 and next year, 1911, he is listed in the census as an 'Errand Boy'.
They lived in France Lynch, Chalford, Gloucestershire.

This looks 20's/30's.
Definitely not 1910.

You could be right. The information was supplied by the family.

Your help is much apppreciated.

There are 2 more pictures of Douglas James; one in hospital blues and the other in his postman's uniform. I hope some of you can help with these also.

Two late ones from me: one at original dimensions and one a close-up, square version.

It's not that easy to see in this one - both Charles and Douglas have one - but isn't it interesting how ubiquitous the cigarette was in photos of a certain age.
