Title: J Brown - Manchester Bertie Ogdon or Maybe Father Ogden

I'm hoping someone could help me to date this photo, which might help me to work out which generation of family it belongs to! I swear I tell everyone to write as much information as they can on the back of their photos - too many are just a mystery!

Hi Beastmum....could you post the back including the corners if you have it...it gives clues for dating.
Could be 1870s

Hi Carol,

Thanks so much for your prompt reply! Unfortunately I only have a digital copy of the photo. I have asked for a scan of the back with corners and will post if I am able to get one. The family members I think this belongs to were born 1848, 1825, 1854 left to right - does that seem likely?

Cheers,

Ruthie
