Sorry that might have been my fault for resurfacing an old topic! But it's a brilliant effort on a fascinating photograph.

Thanks for your reply! That rules out my great grandfather as well then. Will have to do more digging to find out who this mystery man is.

Thanks! Maybe he is the younger of the two. Hopefully someone will be able to give me advice as to the dating and that will shed some light on this one!

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Photo date and age please?

I wondered if someone can help me with the date of this postcard and have a guess at the age of the individual. It was found in my paternal grandparents photo collection. He doesn't look like he's from my grandmother's side of the family so I'm wondering if he is either my great grandfather Thomas Marchant 1877-1935 or great x 2 grandfather Richard Marchant 1849-1922. Any help much appreciated!

Following on from my post on the other thread, brilliant photo! I wonder if I am looking at some of the faces of my ancestors and family members as I think some of the sons/grandsons of Thomas Marchant, who lived at Southfield Brickyard also went on to work there. Would love to know if anyone has any more information on this brickyard and the houses known as Southfield Brickyard (from my research on the census there used to be 2 sets of families living there)
Smokey807, the other picture is here http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,422360.0.html. I don't any information about the brickyard itself but just information from family research/census about my ancestors that lived there, if that's of any use to you, just let me know. Would be interested to see your article when it's done!

Wow -- I just did a google search for Southfield Brickyard, Tunbridge Wells, not expecting to find anything but came across this! Amazing photograph!
My great (x4) grandfather Thomas Marchant b1802 Newick, Sussex lived at Southfield Brickyard with his family, he appears there in the census 1841-1871. He died in 1877 so he may not have known your John Thurston.
Worked out from the census that his home must have been on St Johns Road but I am still trying to work out exactly where. I think the buildings must be gone now. There is a Southfield Road and a Southfields Way and also Southfield's playing fields in the area but does not make it easy to pinpoint the exact location. If you have any other info on the cottages of brickyard I'd be very grateful!
EDIT -- I have now just seen your later post saying the brickyard is under the recreation ground behind Hermes house. I will have to take a look -- thanks!
