Title: Is there enough information? Thomas Thomas,
Post by: action49 on Sunday 25 August 24 11:13 BST (UK)

Hi, this is a picture of Thomas Thomas, born 1842 Pembrokeshire and emigrated to Australia 1867.  Is there enough information to hazard a guess as to the date this was taken? All guesses most gratefully received!

Oh wow! That’s awesome! Thank you!

I was guessing 1870-80 because I thought he might be 30-40. Another relative was thinking more 1860s - he left Wales 1867 so it might be a portrait taken before he left, to leave with his folks perhaps.

The style of dress is very typically 1870's.
