Hello again,
I have recently been given some more information about this photo - found a descendant of my g-grandmother's sister who had the same photo hanging on a wall on the other side of the world. They were informed this gentleman was a member of the Scots guards - looks like a piper, and probable surname is Cramond. Any thoughts?

Only difference I can see in an "inner band" on the rear wheel but presumably model adaptations happened. Any idea whether you would need to be mega rich to afford these? The people in question weren't wealthy at all but they had enjoyed steady employment and had all been educated to mid -late teens.

Also do you think he is 5'11" tall or just 5'3" - two brothers James Thomas and Robert Brash were both chaffeurs in New York and had serious accidents reported in the newspapers there. James died 1913 whereas Robert survived until at least 1942. Photo of Robert with dogs attached below

I think this may be James Thomas Cramond born 1877 and died tragically in 1913 while "testing" the automobile of his employer a Norman Greenhut in New York by stripping it down to the chassis and testing it while sitting on top on a strapped on wooden box and testing it's capabilities (an interesting article which made the front page of New York Times but I'm not sure if i can post it here)..I think James also have had an interest in motorcycles - this may or may not have been his but  can someone advise me of it's make and date or tell me if I should post elsewhere? There is something written on the bike but I can't read it. I'm guessing this must be 1908 -1913 ?

Thank you so much Shelley, I had just about given up on finding anything further. The remarriage is interesting  - it hadn't even occured to me that he might have remarried but it fits in with why communications between them & my grandfather became infrequent.  I will check out the link and see if I can find anything.
Thank you again    P.S. I'll remember not to post info about people who may still be living - Sorry!
