aramsay Posted 27 January Author Share Posted 27 January #23.....we seem to agree this is 1104 James McIntyre, of the family this album pertains to #24....James McIntyre seated / centre ? Well folks, that's the last of the main Black Watch photos from the album. There are lots more.....many civvies-only photos from around same time, some wartime RSF pics of brother Alexander McIntyre, and a fair amount for brother Thomas with 2nd Seaforth in India, around 1921.

Skipman Posted 27 January Share Posted 27 January (edited) Many thanks indeed for sharing these Alan. Amazing what turns up after all these years. Definitely drop in if you're in my neck of the woods some time, would love to see the whole album. Will keep trying to identify them.

I have a few lads standing in the exact place he is. I reckon it's Bedford and they probably all lined up to have their photo taken there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipman Posted 27 January Share Posted 27 January I have another photograph of Harold Towner but can't access at moment. In it, he looks more like the soldier in number 20 than in this one but have a feeling it could well be him. Don't think twin Albert was Black Watch was he @dhubthaigh Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike, would be interested to see the other Towner image. The other one is a newspaper image and from memory could even be the same photo. Will have a look in next couple of days.

dhubthaigh Posted 27 January Share Posted 27 January (edited) The lad rear right in # 24 could be Duncan McGregor (M.M.) No. 1524. I accept the comparison image is a poor newspaper copy. Again any thoughts appreciated. @Skipman Edited 27 January by dhubthaigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stayed with his aunts the Misses Forbes at Kenmore Street, think thye had a sweetie shop or shop of some kind. Edit I think they ran a baker confectioner sweet shop s0 possibly a baker?

Mike I had a look at him in the 1911 census. Aged 14 and still in Ayrshire but occupation not stated..... I think he might be #21 and #22. Will post comparison when I get a chance. Unfortunately one of them a poor copy newspaper image..... Leslie's Directory for 1912 has Miss M. Forbes operating a bakers so makes sense.....

dhubthaigh Posted 28 January Share Posted 28 January (edited) Comparison between the chap in #21 and, admittedly, a poor paper copy image of Atholl Forbes. Not easy but I do think it's him.
