Hi
Thanks for the info.
During all my family research this is the only branch that shows any kind of prosperity. My great grandad then went and threw it all away........
The Jones' of Islington were a well established family of jewellers, specialising in watch making.
My great grandad was lucky enough to be born into this great opportunity but appears to have done his utmost to alienate himself from the family as quickly as possible.
He was a definite black sheep with appearances at the Old Bailey, name changes, illegitimate children and bigamy.........
It looks like the family disowned him as there are no photos of him in existence.
Still, he's my favourite ancestor to research!

Hi Jim
I'll try and get a copy of the back, but your first estimate is exactly where I needed it to be.
This photo is definitely of my 3x or 2x great grandad but they both carried the same name. One was born in 1820 and his son in 1853.
Judging by the age of him this photo had to be around 1890 or 1923 depending which one it was.
Thanks
Leon

Hi
I believe this to be my 3 x great grandfather, but an approximate date would give me more confidence.
Thanks

Yes, I meant Alfred. Just rushing to get it posted earlier.
If this is my 2x great grandmother then she was born in 1852, which looks right.
She only had one daughter who was born in 1879 which would make her late twenties in the wedding photo. She looks older than that to me.
If she really is that young then what could her relationship be to the others in the photo?
It looks like a parents of the groom/bride to me, but that can't work???
Really confused now.

Here are the colour scans of the front and back.
The photo has been extricated from an album and we clearly now have a bit more of the story. The hand writing is that of my late grandmother and Albert was her brother.
If this written note is accurate then it puts this picture around 1910.
Thoughts?

Hi China
Thanks for that.
I'm not letting you get away that lightly though.
1. Do you believe it is the same woman in both photos?
2. what is your date estimate for the second photo?
Thanks for the help

Hi Jim
Can you please clarify for me.
You think the photo with the little boy is 1893-1895 and the wedding shot is 1907-1910?
If I understand that correctly then I can only assume you do not think the same woman appears in both photos?
thanks
Leon
