Young English Gent in Nautical Jacket
Photo of a young english man, wearing a nautical-style jacket. Photo taken at Rees & Co. 298 Clapham Road, London, S.W. sometime during the 1800's or early 1900's.
The Mystery
Do you recognize this young English gent? Is his photo in your family album? This photo was a treasured keepsake of my great-grandmother Louisa Ann PALMER VALLIS, born 1858 in Swanbourne England. Louisa married John Vallis born 1849(son of Samuel VALLIS and Sarah TAYLOR), from Poplar/Millwall. We believe this photo is from VALLIS kin. John Vallis' siblings included Abraham, George, Clara, Ellen and Mary Jane. George & wife Eliza continued to live in Poplar. Mary Jane married Alfred SCRIVEN.
Other ancestral surnames include: PICKERING, HEDGES and CUTTER.
