      He looks like a very old man, so it is possible that it could be the one born in 1805. The trouble is, the photo is not very good and its appearance might be because its OLD or bcause its been badly cared for. By the time the younger John Kay reached this sort of age the date would be after 1900 and I would have thought the photo might be a bit better.

      Someone else will have to comment on the uniform, sorry!

            I don't think it is the one born 1805.

            I have a similar photo of my 3x great grandad. He was born 1840 and died 1920 and it is the same sort of setup with a plain brown background.

            Remembering: Cuthbert Gregory 1889 - 1916, George Arnold Connelly 1886 - 1917, Thomas Lowe Davenport 1890 - 1917, Roland Davenport Farmer 1885 - 1916, William Davenport Sheffield 1879 - 1915, Cuthbert Gregory 1918 - 1944

                Dom, you may have to reload the picture before anyone can have a go at a clean up, when I snagged it to try, it came out very squashed.
