Timms Family photo from 1887 - details on lapel pin

I think this could be his marriage Gadget. Occ. Munitions Worker. But he was born in 1885? maybe a relation but not one of Stormi's

The baptism that I found in Leicester had his parents as Henry and Ann 

How old do people think that the man on the original image ?

I'm dropping out of this now.

This William was even older than Edward!

See my post above:

. The Leicester one that Neale mentions is a possible but William H. was born 1872 and  so would be in his mid-late 40s (48 in 1920).

Another one here, which would be nearer the age of the person in the photo (approx 1920-1885 = 35)

I've found a record for a William Timms, b.c. 1885, Leicestershire. WO364 - WW1 Pension Claims
5th Lancers. Service No. 7296.

Maybe a birth  record - 11 Jan 1885, Leicester. Parents: Henry and Ann

Yes but Gadget, William *was* born in 1972 so that's fine. Plus the Leicestershire Yeomans were the equivilent of the modern-day TA, so they were 'Dads army'. So it fits.

I believe he and his wife are about 50 in the photo.

His parents were Henry and Phoebe. William was born in the outskirts of Coventry, Walsgrave-on-Sowe, but his father Henry was from Leicestershire. (it's very close)

If you think that it's  Edward and  Rose and they are about 50, after all the evidence to the contrary, then so be it.

I think we've got a misunderstanding. I don't think it is Edward and Rose. you convinced me it was William. Right now it looks like it could be William, his wife and grand children in the original picture.

I don't understand why you're all saying 'stepping out' when I'm literally just taking your advice and changing my opinion based on the facts your finding. Sorry if I've been confusing?

I made this picture below, of William, if it is of help?

[stormi]

And is there something fundamentally wrong with thinking he was in the TA (Dad's army) during WW1 between the ages of 30-40? He's wearing the lapel badge.. I don't understand why everyones turning so harsh on me.

Yes I saw this but William was born in 1872 and he has the lapel badge for the Leicestershire Yeomanry on his collar. Sorry if I'm being clueless I do not understand what you are saying to me

By the way I've made this little relationship tree to help you see the siblings and ages:

ps - Annie/Amys husbands look nothing like the man in the picture if you're wondering about it.
