Not sure, but could no. 5 possibly be another photo of the same man as in No. 8 (who we guess may be Arthur Moon).  He appears to be wearing the same hat and has a liking for a checked jacket in both.

Caz, I think you have a side shot of the man in No. 5 in the original WAI

They look different to me, but you are right, there is a side view of No. 5 in one of the other photos. I thought he might have been Edith's boyfriend as they appear to stand quite close together or possibly another relative, but either way, I think their is a familiarity between them.

I wonder if he is a match for one of the young men in the Clifton Brown photos.  I need to do some close ups of that lot next.

I wrote a reply some time ago, but either it has disappeared in cyber space or I pressed the wrong key!
Congratulations to Trish for finding a photo  of Ernest Moon, I have searched all over the place for a decent photo of him. As you say there  is obviously a connection between the Moons and the Clifton Browns, I wonder if it could be political?
I have also been searching for a good photo of Arthur Moon to do a comparison. I went back into Google images tonight and put in 'Arthur Moon, Balhomie' and guess what photo showed  up - Caz's photo No 2 who we think is Basil.  It hasn't been identified, it just goes under the title Who am I, and refers to this Rootschat article.
I don't know if you are aware that some, if not all our WAI items are out in Google land for everybody to see, for instance, if you google 'Ernest Moon, Balhomie' you can get a link to WAI no 10.
I see you have posted another for us Caz, you are keeping us busy. I find it so interesting.

On more than one occasion I have been excited by a search result only to realise it was one of our threads!  ;D ;D ;D  However, chances are if there are people researching these same people, they may just drop into Roostchat.  I just hope they make themselves known and just don't pinch the photos.

I think No.20 might go in the too hard basket as well as No. 12 and No 19, but you never know.   :)

Agree - it looks like heart-throb no 8 and no 5 appear to be the same chap.

I'm an idiot, as Jool said, the hat on heart throb No. 8 and also No. 5 is the same.  ::)  So I now revise my opinion and say that yes, that could well be Arthur Heart Throb Moon in both photos (well actually three if you count the side view one of him walking up the path).  This would also explain the familiarity in standing quite close to Edith i.e. he's her brother and not some random that would have had to keep a respectful distance, especially in the presence of father Moon.

So that just leaves moustache man in photo 1.

Heart throb and side view could be the same I think. Is that the same hat?
