Another photo has come to light which puts the cat amongst the pigeons. This one is almost certainly my great grandfather, George Middleton - 1845-1932, as we can match his appearance in other, later, family photos, and if we assume that he was aged about 16 or 17 in the photo, that would date it to about 1862. The photographer is the same as in the photo above - D.Nottle, Beckenham. Is it assuming too much that as the photos have come down the family together, the photos were taken at the same sitting? If so, who paid? The gentleman at the top, who if he was George's father, Thomas, would have been in his mid 50's? Sadly I don't have access to the backs of the photos at the moment.
