Might that be the thread?

Or maybe this one.
All worth a look if it turns out that this man is a Bury rather than a Constantine.

Re: family picture - who is this man ???
 

Thanks for all your help so far
I think a member of Accrington Uban district council would be a good hunch ??

Would anyone have any idea how to search records or photo banks

The name our family were given of this man is George William Boardman, but please be cautious that this name may have been made up or be factually incorrect

Hope someone out there in Accrington can help me

I’ve been searching and researching now for about 4 Years without success.

I think that a descendant of the Burys is a member on here. I'll try to contact him

Thank you Bob

Hi Accyborn

Thanks for your kind help on this

May I ask how you seem to know who this person is, or is it just a guess ?

How certain are you the pictures is Richard Ingram Constantine ?

Re: family picture - who is this man ???
 

The attached photo is of the Accrington Council in 1928. I agree with Bob Dobson as to the chain the man in question is wearing and it is definitely not the Accrington mayoral chain and in all the photos of mayors in the Jubilee book they are all wearing mayoral robes.

Re: family picture - who is this man ???
 

In the photo on my last post R. I. Constantine, who is third from left on the middle row, could be the man in question if the original photo later in the 30s than suggested and his hair had gone grey. Constantine was first elected to the council in 1919 and Bury in 1901.

Thank you so much for this

Re: family picture - who is this man ???
 

Unfortunately I don’t see much of a resemblance to any of these gentleman

To me the nearest is Front row – second to far right Ald. G.H Ellis , but sadly I think he is not on here !!

Re: family picture - who is this man ???
 

Had a closer look - agreed A.S Bury or G.H Ellis are the nerest matches
Maybe A.S Bury is the match
Would we know what the Christian initals A.S stand for ??

Re: family picture - who is this man ???
 

Arthur Smith Bury

Re: family picture - who is this man ???
 

I've informed the bloke who was enquiring - Henry Bury.
