Albion and Moses Hartley

[Gibby1968]

I wonder if anyone could help me date these photographs please?

Albion was born in 1850 and died in 1934.

Moses Hartley was my 2x great grandfather and he was born in 1862 and died in 1916.

The photo of Moses Hartley was sent me to a while ago by a roots chat member who saw another thead I had about Moses.

I don't have any photos of Moses to go by so I don't know if it's him or his uncle Moses who was born in 1846.

Thanks.

Based on the cut & style of the suit, I'd have to say it's no later than early to mid 1920s at best. The two layered lapel is uncommon past the mid 20s through the late 30s due to cost & time of production, especially during the recession. It did make a resurgence, later, but that would be well past the time he had passed away.

Just my two cents.

So it must the elder Moses who died in 1930 then.

What do you make of the picture of Albion?  That's the only one I have unfortunately.  You can't really make out what his collar is like because it's a head and shoulders shot.

Wow also the father of Wallace Hartley.

I know :-)

Wallace is my 3rd cousin 3x removed.

I found him a while ago and wondered if there was a link.  I only put it together in the last few days.
