I think the offer has been around for a while. I've had it on my kindle device for a few years.

Thanks so much for this and apologies for nor replying earlier. This certainly gives me good leads to further research. Checking OPRs for the area, the name is first recorded about the middle of the 17th century and only occurs in two or three parishes. It had disappeared by the beginning of the 19th century and my ancestors changed their name to Campbell.

No, I've none of the uncles but I do have photos of the (half) brothers (one of whom was my grandfather) and the man in this photo is definitely not either of them.

Many thanks Gadget for all your valuable comments. For several reasons I was thinking this could be Rosina Fear Peters (1864-1946) and I think a 1920s date would fit her age. I assumed it was a husband and wife, but Rosina's husband, John Roberts died in 1918. It may well be one of her uncles though - either James (1850-1928) or Charles Peters (1864-1947). To me, the man looks the elder in this photo and Charles was the same age as Rosina, so perhaps James is more likely. Rosina only had two brothers, both considerably younger than her and it's certainly neither of them. I'll attach a photo of Charles which, although much earlier than this one does appear to show a family resemblance to my mind.

Thanks for the replies so far. I too thought of the1920s, but of the couple I hoped it might be, the man died in October 1918.

I have the attached photo from my family collection and I'm not sure who this couple are. I'd appreciate a date if someone can help. Could it have been taken prior to October 1918? Personally it looks later to me, but I'm no expert.

I think it's Sturges, and as you say, a surname used as a middle name often 'points the finger' at the father.
