From luckyjo:

"Can anyone give me a rough date for this photo of Edwin Ames an ancestor of mine. Possibly born around 1823. If anyone feels like giving him a wash and brush up I would be delighted."

About 1890  to 1900

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

well, giz' a chance to attach him!!  ;D

I'd say he dates from around the mid-late 1860s, so could well be Edward born 1823  :)

Mid-late 1860s from me as well...typical lino-looking flooring, head brace visible behind the chair, blank white wall behind the subject. Wonder if there was at one time a "companion" lady's portrait taken in the same setting...

That's nice, Irene.

Wonder if there is any signifigance to the book he is holding...generally a book is supposed to denote literacy but this book isn't a very masculine-looking one, it looks more like a child's white prayerbook or something....
