Confused  :-\ As to why if the chap pictured is Thomas why does it say George father of William on the back  ???
Grandarog, the writing on the back is my father's handwriting. We knew him to be George but with research have determined that his name is really Thomas George Snashall father of William George Snashall )my great grandfather)

Hello,
What a surprise  :o this is my grandfather Thomas Snashall. My maternal grandfather. Not only have I never been able to trace the Snashall familly, I now have for the first time ever, not only news but a photo too ;D
I guess who ever wrote this about their gggrandfather - we must be related ;D It would be nice to know.
belowthe ducks, I will private message you. Always great to find family.

belowtheducks may perhaps receive your PM but, unless the PM system has changed somewhat, won't be able to reply until he/she has made another post or two.  :-\
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

There is a resemblance to the porter/signalman uniform depicted here from the Bluebell Railway in Sussex.The text suggests this was not unique to this railway.

Hi,
I have tried to private message you but I dont have access :(
The birth certificate I have is for May (my mother) daughter of THOMAS SNASHALL and May Bell Bartlett (then the wife of T. Snashall) who were living at 66 Middle Walk, Whitstable.  Thomas Snashalls profession - Railway Porter ;D
My mothers birth was registered on 21.9.1912
Does this tie in with your research? The only thing is, there are no "middle names"showing on the birth certificate :( BUT!! it is a massive coincidence isnt it?! ;)
Kind regards

For information,though I can't quote details,I believe Thomas is mis-transcribed as Mashall in the major 1911 census databases.
