family picture - who is this man ???
I have a family picture here probably taken 1920 - 1930 by Moffitt art studio Accrington?
My wife's Gran held this photo dearly and it could have been her father/ step father/ guardian but alas we do not know the name of the man pictured or get to know who her parents were Does anyone from Accrington recognise this man please ? Thanks |

Re: family picture - who is this man ???
https://www.hyndburnbc.gov.uk/the-mayors-office/7/ list them and their dates of office.
So you have a choice of: 1919 – 1920 : David Walton Muffit 1920 – 1922: James Waddington 1922 – 1923 : Edward Woolley 1922 – July 1925: Frederick Lord. Died in Office, July 1925 July 1925 – 1927 : Charles Wilkinson 1927 – 1928 : T E Higham 1928 – Feb 1930 : Richard Watson. Died in office, Feb 1930 |

Re: family picture - who is this man ???
In the Accrington Jubilee Souvenir book there is a photo of the town council in 1928 and the the image of R. I. Constantine doesn't resemble the gentleman in the photo in question. The only man who resembles the photo is Ald. A. S. Bury sorry if I have mudded the waters more.

Re: family picture - who is this man ???
You are welcome.
I have been looking for pictures of the two aldermen....R I Constantine...and AS Bury....but I cannot find any pictures. Maybe they are just in the Jubilee book.

Re: family picture - who is this man ???
I would have expected that a formal mayoral portrait would be taken wearing civic robes. The drop on the end of the chain looks rather small. I wonder if he is chairman of one of the UDCs which surrounded Accrington borough.

Re: family picture - who is this man ???
I'll try and scan the photo for you but it will be tomorrow. If I remember correctly there was a thread about the Bury family on Accy Web but it was several years ago.
