Relative (possibly Richard Williams) Caernarfonshire
« on: Friday 22 December 23 12:03 GMT (UK) »
I think one of these men may be my great great grandfather, Richard Williams, who was a stone mason in Caernarfonshire. It's the size of a cabinet card. There's nothing on the back except "Taid" (grandfather) and the small stamp also attached. It came from a set of photos left to my mum, so I'm not sure whose taid he is. Richard was baptised in 1828, but I don't if that helps to confirm whether it's him.

Also, if someone could improve the contrast and clean it up, I would be extremely grateful, because whoever it is, I really like the photo. Thank you.

Thanks Carol, I’m glad you’ve kept the sepia tone. It looks fantastic.
Thanks too japeflakes for your black and white version, which gives it a different feel.
