  3. I seem to have a photo from A. G. Taylor phographer.. that seems to have the same gentleman, the older, seated man on the right, in my photo. I believe it is the great grandfather and his wife. We always thought it was a relative, but are unclear as to who “s relative exactly. I can upload the photo if anyone is interested. I would love to know more about it.

    • Can anyone date this photograph, my grandfather was called William but he died around 1908 when my father was a baby, and I wondered if this was the same person as I have no knowledge of the family history. My grandmother remarried and the Day family were never talked about.

  5. I have two portraits Circa 1890 one of my grandfather, Thomas Adams, the other my Grandmother Harriet Adams. They are interesting as they are printed on glass and tinted by hand.

  6. I also have an original family group circa 1890 by the same photographer, A & G Taylor. Marvellous family portraits- but such serious expressions.
