Dating a photo and some detective work

[JDJames89]

Oh, and here are the photos of Burton. The first set were sent to me by one family member and positively identified. The second set were sent to me from another family member and unidentified. Anyone have any input as to whether they are the same person or not? I think the man on the back laft in the original photograph is Burton.

Hi
What an interesting thread 

and I agree with you on your last post with regard to Burton.

I also think Robert 'Jim' James is standing 3rd from left in the first photo.

When this picture was taken it wasn't as customary for men to wear wedding rings as it was for woman. The tradition for men started to take off a little later after the turn of the century so the lack of rings doesn't really mean too much.  And women didn't always wear them all the time either.  If you look at the later picture of the three women there are no obvious ones there either.

My great grandmother's ring was forever in and out of the pawn brokers shop!
