Help with year of photo please of James Scholes my great grand uncle

[Shirleyjjj]

I think this is my great grandfather - a pic found in my mothers posessions with a note to say 'from auntie Milly' however, as there is no auntie Milly or Millicent in my tree (yet) I need to piece this together - a date would be helpful as to the mans suit and his age maybe - the back of the picture has a stamp that says 24  Dec 1959 or 1939 as its not been stamped right I could see if either of those days was a Sunday which would exclude a photographers being open on a Sunday but so far I havent worked out the  day as i think the pic is a re-print (but neither of my great grandads lived beyond 1918 so it could even be an gr grand uncle ) however , he does look like my grandfather did at that age apart from built larger.
any help would appreciate - also does anyone have any idea what Milly might be short for ?

Milly could be short for Amelia or Amy, possibly Mildred;  could just be a nickname or perhaps the auntie was using her middle name.

I have some photos with the same frilly border dated 1950 s....Milly can be short for Mildred, Millicent or Amelia....based on my family names.

hi all

My son and i have been looking at photos all day and we now think that this is James Scholes my great grand uncle as he died in 1962 and looks the same person on my nanas wedding pic , possibly a marriage of someone in the family in 1959 it would put his age about 65 in this pic
