you have really brought my photo to life!  I think there is a strong resemblance  between the photos which made me revise my earlier thoughts as to who it could be, I am trying to bear in mind that people tended to look older than their years in that era.

 Although the cottage doesn't fit in with where I know Mary was living at the time, of course I have no idea where the photo was taken or why so it could have been visiting someone out of Newcastle or at some other occasion

Many thanks to all who have restored my photo and commented!
