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.

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.

Date & Place: Not specified or unknown.

Greetings. I am a part-time family historian researching: *** 18th & 19th century Middlesex and Buckinghamshire England family roots. Surnames include, VALLIS, TAYLOR, PALMER, CUTLER, PICKERING, HEDGES and SCRIVEN. Known 1800's Middlesex roots are specific to Poplar/Millwall. Buckinghamshire connections include the areas of Winslow, Swanbourne, Stewkley, Wing and Leighton Buzzard. *** U.S. family roots include ROSS and ROMAINE families from New York who went westward to settle in Kansas and Missouri. ***German Russian family roots include BOHL, KAHLER, HUCK, SPREIER, SCHULDEIS, SCHULTHEIS, FEUERSTEIN,GAS, JAEGER, EIKMEIER surnames. Our family immigrated from Russia; some family members came to the U.S., settling in the midwest. Other family members immigrated to Argentina.
