Brian's side.
Maybe Kings, Forsyths, Dodgsons?
From Barrow in Furness? Greenock?
Probably Lancashire, UK or Scotland.
This is slightly larger than a postage stamp.

I think this was taken after Harry and Agnes' wedding, as the mothers are wearing the same hats and dresses. Harry and Agnes were married in Barrow-in-Furness July - Aug 1921.

My husband's father's maternal grandfather.
My children's Great Great Grandfather.
He was a Private in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders when he was killed in WWl. He died 4/02/1915. He is buried in Greenock Cemetery, Scotland.
I haven't been able to find out his birthdate.

Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "Socks" - Samuel is sporting his argylls.

Here is Agnes Forsyth, who will become Agnes King about five years later. She is sitting on the left with her mother, Katherine, nee Adams, on the right. Standing behind her is her father, Samuel Forsyth, whom she adored. After he died, her mother married a man whose name was Ericson, whom Agnes didn't like at all. My mother in law, in a vain effort to please Agnes, mistakenly gave my husband the wrong middle name, (Ericson) thinking that Agnes had been fond of her step-father only to find out, too late, how intensely she had disliked him.
Samuel's kilt could use a good ironing! Although, according to a Flickr friend he is " wearing a canvas 'kilt apron', issued to soldiers to protect their kilts in combat. You can tell from his hose-tops and cap badge that he is a member of the Argyll & Sutherland Highland Regiment. "
Agnes was from Greenock so this is probably taken there or nearby.

NOTE: Thanks to Flickr friends and a found certificate, he has been positively dentified as Samuel Forsyth. He was a Private in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders when he was killed during WWl., but not, apparently, in battle. He died 4/02/1915.
I have not been able to discover his birth date.
He is buried in Greenock Cemetery, Scotland.
