Hello
The beautiful photo's drew me into this thread, I noticed a couple in particular the man in the uniform and the named shop. I have been searching for Nixon's myself and I wonder if there might be a connection. I have an almost identical photo to the man in uniform, although I believe mine is of a Nixon boy. The resemblance is uncanny, although the uniform may be helping. James Nixon born in abt 1828 is my 2nd Great grandfather, Born in Glenish Ireland, His Father was called James Nixon also and estimate him to be born about 1807. I do not know anything of who he married, Ie I don't know the younger James Nixon Mum. My 2nd great grandfather came over to the uk in the 1850's I believe with 2 other of the Nixon family, although I have never managed to trace those other people. I happen to have had my dna done and I am supposed to match with quite a few people with the name Miller, I haven't managed to work any of the miller matches out at all. I just thought I would mention this, as it all just seemed a little coincidental.
