Anyone up for a Challenge?

Do you think this railway pocket watch fob looks a similar shape to the one the gentleman in the photo is wearing?

Yes the fob looks very much like the one in the photo Jool, I scanned it at a high resolution earlier but have been too tied up to post it. The the other one is darker and less clear. I also scanned the hatband but it didn't offer any clues. I will post tomorrow for comparison.
Thanks for that Jool

Another clue from Edith Beck's probate, Gertrude Metcalfe at an address in Richmond, Yorks.  Richmond was mentioned on the postcard.

Good find Jool....I think the net might be closing in  There is an Edith Beck mentioned as a share holder with the Great Western Railyway on FindMyPast but one entry lists her as Miss so maybe just a coincidence  I haven't found any children for a Wooff/Beck union.

The only remaining alternative I can think of is that the portrait is of a suitor of Edith at the time,who doesn't reference Ernest because he is no longer at home.

Thanks for that Roger....I have a feeling that the photo might be of a relative of her Aunt but it's all guess work

The high res scan does look a similar shape to the railway fob.  It's a shame we can't pick out more detail from it. I'm not familiar with watch chain fobs, I wonder if a railway worker's fob would be a unique shape, or would this same shape be used elsewhere.

Hello.

Has any one queried the way the gentleman has presented for his photograph?

To me the right arm sleeve looks very limp.

EDIT.to:-..I am intrigued as to who the letter writer is. I thought there were initials after the word sincerely, but now I think it is two kisses. Thanks for taking the time to search for them

My eyes see an almost identical "F" to that in "Forcett: for the first mark.

I think it is resting on a chair arm Alan. I did notice what looks like a shield shaped ring on his left hand little finger. I thought it might be kisses rather than initials but not sure.
