On the other thread, we identified this man as the same person:

Threads merged.

Who is he and when was he born?

The man in the link we decided he was James smith the son of William

James born 1887 and was a “ Carter in 1911 cenus

Would this add up ?

If it is him, and we reckon he was late teens early 20s in this photo, the photo would have been taken 1906-1911.

The pic would fit with a possible carter occupation. For example, he was getting his horse shoed' or just after he'd unhitched the horse/before he hitched it.

This would fit but is just my view.
