This is a photocopy of an original photograph sent to me by a relative overseas who is now deceased.
I believe it could be my gt.grandfather Thomas Spurr 1818-1884 who lived in the West Riding Yorkshire.   Any help regarding time period would be appreciated.

Can anyone date this photograph for me, I think it maybe my father born 1897, but the clothes don't seem to fit with his working class lifestyle  and with other photos of him in his early years.   I am also intrigued with the number 1755 shown on the photo.  The photo appears to have been stuck onto something and then removed, therefore no writing can be seen on the back.
