Hello Sid

I am the son from 1960 so hello cousin. You may be able to help in identifying someone in a photograph we have. We scanned a negative on a tin plate that belonged to my grandmother - the Margaret (Maggie) who died in 1974. My mum and uncle suggest that it could be Maggie's father, Alexander Gillespie Smith b1872 d1932 but are not certain. I just need a way to get the photo to you.

Cheers
John
