Ah, thank you.
If it is the same person, there is conflicting information on published trees so I wasn’t sure.

Interesting link here maybe of interest to you, judging by the information your                        http://victorian-era.org/what-is-a-footman-and-what-were-the-duties.html

 maybe of interest to you, it could be your Great Uncle was a 1st. Footman as apposed to a 2nd or 3rd, it looks like he is wearing cuffs and studs under his dust coat.  He certainly has a military bearing.

Thanks 😊
