Hi Prue
Yes the stamps on the back are exactly the same as the link you posted.  I just assumed the photo was taken in Wakefield where the family lived, especially with the Wakefield Exhibition stamps.  I never thought it could have been taken in Blackpool !  It does throw up the question as to who the child is in the photgraph if it's pre 1881.  It was definitely amongst my Gt Grandfather's possessions ....  back to my uncle I think.

Hi Emjaybee
Thank you so much for the time you've taken over the pictures ... certainly no rude comments from me  !!

Kind regards

Rude was the wrong word ???

Having more or less invented the faces from nothing I expected a few comments.

Thanks Carol and to everyone who worked on the photo .....  I'm just amazed anyone could do anything with the scrap of a picture I inherited from my uncle !
