Michael L Mort sent these three great photos, which were restored by Photo World in Bolton Market Hall

The man and child taken Xmas 1883 is of my Grand Father Alexander Mort in the arms of his Grand Father, who I have yet to trace.

The group has my Father, the boy with the large white collar and my
Great Grand Father on the back row 3 from the right looking at the photograph.

The wedding photograph shows a very young Alexander Mort in uniform. As he enlisted as a boy soldier and was in the army at the time of the 1901 census I would put the date as 1900-1903. The other five are not known to me but as the restoration work is very good someone may recognise them.
