I've checked his signature on his wedding cert and on the 1911 and they are definitely the same, bu is it him in the photos ??  :-\

Thanks Gadget - I think we can safely leave things here if you don't mind :) I think based on the current information I have it is hard for us to draw any conclusions. The information I have on Albert is next to nothing and his living relative unfortunately doesn't even have photos of her father, let alone second grand father.

I am really pleased we solved the lapel badge mystery & with everything else you've taught me about vintage fashion I'm sure I'll solve the 'mystery man and women' photo sometime, I'll be sure to let you know when I do :)

By the way Gadget, in the top photo there are some interesting fassions for the kids isn't there? They almost look like medieval play costumes to me, I assume most kids clothes would have been made by the family? I love little Reginald's pose (the youngest child next to mother standing) And I assume these were the general fassions in the pre-1920 era?

Very much of the period. The elder girl so much reminds me of a 2nd cousin once removed. (1906-1918) Wrexham. From a group photo sent to me by her nephew in Central  America  :)

Add -If you could find a service/enlistment record for WHT, that has his signature, then it can be compared with the ones that I've found - marriage and 1911l
