So, the picture I posted, what age would James be? Looks so much older than the pair you have posted.

The older photograph I suspect was around 1861 when James was Mayor of PMB.  I would hazard a guess that the one you found (I also have a copy of it) was therefore between 1861 and 1866 but nearer to 66 after he retired from public office.
