    Can you help me with ages please

    I want to find the death of the man on the top left born 1844, hes not on the basic search on Ancestry or FreeBMD, so means i have to trawl for it and would be easier if i had a starting point.




    My mum in the middle top row was born Apr 1904, her mum on the end was born 1879, and uncle Fred in the middle was born Aug 1905

    Could anyone help give me a starting point please

    Thank you

    Sylvia

    Hi, the phot looks like it was taken in the 1920s, when your man would have been in his 70s, hope that's some help.

    Hi Sylvia,

    For what it's worth, I would guess that the picture was taken about 1924-1926, based on the years of birth you gave. That would put your top left man in his early 80's.

    Hope this helps -
