Wow!! It's hard to keep up with you Mckha489 but you're certainly on the right track.

John Saxon (father and son) were Gt grandparents of my friend.

Many Thanks

Perfect. It would be nice to know where the original is.

It looks to me as though the original was a miniature portrait that has been reproduced as a photograph. It's lovely. I will have a go at this one tomorrow hopefully.
