Morning Hazel - I think you are a dash and two digits short of your intended link. Interesting photo do you have a date for it?

Hi Julian - thanks. I shall blame Jinks who is whingeing here to go out while I am playing on 365! I cropped Joseph from the photo of him with his family at the bottom of this collage http://365project.org/quietpurplehaze/add-ins/2012-07-21
From various deductions I think the photo is around 1900. I tried various ways to crop Joseph from the original and found this crystal ball on Ribbet was the best, not perfect, but I have a dog waiting to go out! Have a good week!

Great oldie . How wonderful it is to have a photograph of him . I only have one of myself as a kid.

@pyrrhula

That seems unusual to me as my father took lots of photos - all his life. (Maybe I've caught the habit from him!!)

@pyrrhula

p.s. I have lots of photos of my ancestors, the only trouble being that I don't know all the people in the photos!

You are lucky to have these photos Hazel. I have none of my paternal grandfather and none at all of my great grandparents
