date photo & what do the clothes indicate?

Fascinating to read about Dickinson the photographer and the ghost.  Without wanting to divert from the original theme of my quest to find out about the photo of Isaac Crowther, as an aside it may be of interest to note that the ghost of Isaac's nephew Robert Sadler Crowther (Bob) haunts the Tyne Theatre in Newcastle after he was killed by a falling sound effect cannonball.

Hi Peter,

This is a fascinating photo and I believe he's my father-in-law's 2xG-grandfather (currently researching my father-in-law's tree for him, he's descended from Frances Garthwaite Crowther but knows nothing about anyone beyond his own parents I think). Isaac strikes me as an intriguing character, particularly the political correspondence - any idea where I might begin to look into that, or have you found it all from personal papers?

I believe you mentioned elsewhere that you'd written an article about Isaac and his father - where can I get hold of that?

Thanks.

J
