I do wonder if the lining of the hat is just pleated inside and it suggests there to be an image when there is none ?

I had not seen the pointer in his hand - well spotted.

Could it possibly be a little paintbrush, it looks to be about 7 or 8 inches long

Yes, it is lovely and much clearer than mine. Someone had stuck paper all over the back with some awful glue to keep the 2 parts of the picture together and it had lost quite a bit of the imagery from the back image because of it.
The front of the picture was also equally in 2 parts but my husband had managed to do a "clean stitching" process using photo editing across his middle well above the pocket watch chain and well below the tie where the crack was, to make it a complete picture for me to upload

So if we are agreed that it is on the 4th finger, could it just be the wedding ring for his future wife that he has placed there for safekeeping before the marriage  ?

I saw that ring too, it looks to me to be on his 4th finger as I thought I could just see his third finger, using the knuckles as a guide.
So I am assuming the ring is some sort of signet ring

Family History Beginners Board / Who is this person & when was it taken
« on: Sunday 09 February 25 11:38 GMT (UK)  »
I have just received a box of photographs and as usual no names are written on them.
This one intrigues me so much and I know next to nothing about the sitter

What I do know is that the photograph was taken at Hinchcliffe & Co, 273 Scotland Road, Liverpool.
It is mounted onto card and is around 6 1/2 inches by 4 1/4 inches in total size. There is a lovely advertising picture in beige and red on the reverse of the premises

Around what year was it taken
What is the thing he has dangling on his watch chain, is it important
Any other clues anyone can extract from this picture would be great to hear about, no matter how small

Thank you in advance

Family History Beginners Board / Can you date this wedding photograph
« on: Sunday 24 September 23 13:13 BST (UK)  »
This picture has bugged me for many years.
It is allegedly of my husbands uncle, although we have never been unable to find any marriage record for him and this lady.
I have managed to pin down the marriage to the church as St.Lukes, Redcliffe Square London SW10 from the photographers stamp on the back and also the window in the background of the photograph. Sadly the photographer is no longer in existence so I cannot ask them about the photograph. The records for St.Lukes are not on-line for the period I assume this picture was taken and they only reside in the London Metropolitan Archives which I cannot as yet get to being in Scotland

Any help as to the possible date of the picture would be enormously welcome.
Whatever clues (no matter however small) that you can discern from anything in the picture, may just give me the essential key to unlocking this picture and resolving this conundrum once and for all
Thank you

Thank you all for your thoughts so far.
The picture is of a grandfather with his grandchildren.

The youngest little boy on the left in the short trousers is believed to be Patrick CLARK born 1892 and I thought he looked to be around 4 years old which would make the picture to around 1896.

So from all your comments, I think I am now pretty comfortable that this picture was taken somewhere mid 1890's

Thank you everyone
