Another conundrum! The name on the back of this photograph??

[loobylooayr]

It's a shame I can't simply find a list all deaths registered on March 10th 1875, I could rule them out one by one.

The date on the card is surely the date of death, which is not necessarily same as that on which the death was registered.

Also bearing in mind the mess I've discovered some of my family made with birth/death dates, please remember that we don't know who wrote on reverse of photo and we don't know when it was written.

I don't think it's based on a grave - I think it's based on someone's reading of the words on the back of this photo.

Thanks avm,

I was unaware that info. on findagrave was not taken from MI's or burial records!

Another site with a heap of 'mish/mash' info.

However, it may be worth contacting the contributor to ask some questions

I was going to post earlier as I don't understand Findagrave site - as you say Annie, I thought it was information from a grave. I also wondered how PTRACER was in possession of a photograph but didn't recognise the name but then realised that it may have been acquired at a sale etc.
However, I have now noticed that there are several references to the photo online including a long published article which I came across by searching with the photographer's name.

Yes, I'm writing a university thesis on post-mortem photography, so I'm trying to track down anything with names, dates of birth/death and so on to understand more about them and their family.

Thanks for the explanation.

It is odd that nothing can be found.

If the birth date is January, as seems possible, then the J is formed very differently from the first letter of the name.

Could first name be 'Tobin' and the second name not the surname but a second forename? Are we all agreed it's a boy?

One 'i' is not dotted [see 'loving'] but I do not think any of the other dots are extraneous, so to me the first, second names & 'died' all have a definite 'i' in. So we have XoXiX.

Birth registration, if any, should be in Mar quarter 1871 & death registration, if any, could be in Mar or Jun quarter 1875.

Looking at the image, I think the child could be female.

Another thought is, that if the photo was remounted as suggested earlier and maybe details  from none UK records, as the writing is in English it is more likely written by someone with English as a first language.

That's what I thought too, but it's difficult to be sure.
