Hi,
I am a grandson of Archibald Pickthall, my mother is James Pickthalls' half-sister. During my research into our family tree we found that Archibald had adopted James, I do not know if in fact he was his natural father . We have some very old photographs of the family of which one is of three soldiers, wearing kilts. My mother said one of these soldiers was James, the faces of two of the men can be plainly seen , the third soldier is not so clear but perhaps still be recognisable as some facial features can be seen. The third soldier also appears to be very tall, my mother always referred to James as 'Big Jim' perhaps this is James.
I would be more than happy to send a copy of the photograph to the lady mentioned if she would like a copy, As a new member I am unsure how something like this could be done , any advice would be appreciated .
