Title: Clean-up, and dating please
Post by: dutch missmarple on Tuesday 31 August 10 19:50 BST (UK)
Hi,

This photo needs just a little clean-up.
Maybe a color version is possible?

Can anyone date this photo as well? I just added the back of the photo!

Thank you.

This chap's dressed formally in a morning coat that hadn't changed much over 20 years.The general style of the photo looks 1890's but we'd need to see the back please.

Thomas Ashby Flemons was in Tunbridge High St between 1882 and 1911.

Thanks for putting up the back,early 1890's I would suggest.
He looks mid - late 20's,so how does that fit with the date.

Hi Jim,

Early 1890's he would have been mid 20's. So that would be perfect.
Census 1891 shows him staying with his future in-laws in Tunbridge.
He and Sarah got married 1892 in Tunbridge. God, wish I had their wedding photo.
Sadly she died 1895, only 25 years old.

Thanks Jim! :D

Silly question, is this young man, [so good looking] related to a young man that we did in a different pose a while back??

He might have been a different age, but they do look alike!

Paula: thank you, another great version to add to my collection!

Rabbit B: I have posted several photos of Albert Wilson but also one of his brother. So yes, it's the same man.
