Wow that was quick. How did you come to that conclusion in such a short time? I have another query, if you would be ever so grateful to help. I have enclosed a photograph of my Taid who was born 1901 and married my nanna in 1929, so the year fits, but I'm not sure if both gentlemen are the same person. Could you please advise.

Taid is 88 years of age in this photo which was taken in 1990 and he has lost a lot of weight in his face. I don't know if that helps at all. He died in 2003 age nearly 102. I only came across the photo in his family album just after his passing and now I don't have anyone to ask, typical!

Dating was easy. It's exactly the same 'look' as my grandma's wedding in 1928.
It looks to be the same person to me. Earlugs are the same and the rather solid forehead seem to match.
