I have posted the photo on the military board.  Hopefully someone can identify it for me, but from previous discussions we were under the impression that its a brtitish army uniform.  It will be nice to have confirmation.

The man in the photo has been identified as General Sir John Monash?! :-\

Who identified him as Sir John MONASH?

Obviously I am misunderstanding something here?
On the other thread is a picture of a military gentleman.

majm included a link to General Sir John Monash; in an identical uniform, and bearing a remarkable resemblance to th other picture? :-\

If it wasn't intended as an identification, then I can't for the life of me work out why it was attached/linked? ???

I was identifying the uniform.

Sir John Monash had protruding ears, and differences in his mo.

Well he definitely seems to be more navy than army. The photo must be of someone else.  Articles about Charles Sherlock on Trove. It would definitely be interesting to know if anything is written on the back of the photo, but as it has been scanned in, I assume not.

Just throwing this out there...

If Charles Snr was a boilermaker then its possible he too was somehow connected with ships.   :-\

There are records of a Charles Sherlock / Shurlock, mariner, b 1848 in either Hyth, Beds according to the 1871 census (RG10; Piece: 3777; Folio: 125; Page: 8;) or Heath Oxford according to the following TNA record:

http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C11738569

In 1871 there is also an unmarried Mary Carter aged 30 from Liverpool lodging at Percy St Tynemouth.  The family she is lodging with is also called Carter so may well have been family.   

Possibly entirely unconnected but the 1881 census has the following in the Tynemouth Union Workhouse, North Shields:

Catherine Sherlock, 22, b Blyth
Mary Ann Sherlock, 3, b Bedlington
Isabella Sherlock, 1, b Blyth

I cant find Catherine in 1871 so whilst its a long-shot it may be worth getting the birth certificate of one of the children to see who their father was and whether he too was a boilermaker.  If nothing else it MAY place Charles the mariner in North Shields at the right time  ???

I'm liking the look of this unmarried Mary Carter.  Also hopeful Catherine may be a sibling perhaps?

I'm pretty sure the picture is Charles.  We have a matching picture of his wife.  Other family members also have the pictures and identify them as that couple.  Its definitely not Sir John Monash.  I believe majm was identifying the uniform.

I've seen the articles on Trove.  They certainly add to the picture.  And I'm certainly starting to wonder about how much truth is in the information he's provided.
