Thanks for the message, I am satisfied that John's marriage to Mary Bowles is the one I'm dealing with for my ancestor. My research also leads me to believe that Mary married for the 3rd time after John died so my earlier post about her living at North End to age 98 is not the same Mary Stock/Heasler/Gage.

Hi,
This photo has my Great Grandfather (elderly gent) on left, his son on the right and has been used as a photo for the father of the woman in the middle. People have seen a cropped version of him and assumed it is correct. The father of my gt Aunt died 1923. My Gt Grandfather died 1944.

Can someone please date the photo please, my mum wrote "Gran Dad" on the back of the original (uncropped one)attached.

Regards,
Denise

Ok my distant cousin relative came back and said that she doesn't have originals of the photos, she has framed copies which she has scanned to me, so we won't be able to get photographer details but they were not from a round photo apparently.

Looks like the clothing style will have to be the nearest way to judge...

Hi,
Thanks for reply. I understand your questions and will ask the person who gave me the scan. Unfortunately I may not be able to answer all of them as the photos have been professionally framed and sealed, I can't ask her to take them out for my sake!

In similar circumstances some of the rootschat members who are expert in clothing styles have been very accurate, hope you're looking at this Jim1....

I'll come back with the photographer info or more at least about the size etc as soon as I can obtain info

Thanks Jim  I guess it's hard to pinpoint time frame more than that given the poor quality I'm trying to narrow him down but being a carte de visite he may not even be a family member! So many great photos and so few I can be certain about who they are = frustration! Oh well, a breakthrough can always happen when you least expect one so I keep on hoping...
