A droopy beard and whiskers
Uncle Taylor
Do you think that Uncle Taylor was from Sheffield, or his last name was Sheffield? He bears a strong resemblance to Tomkins/Tom King, and I wonder if they were related somehow.
Uncle Taylor wore a nice three piece suit for his photograph and a bow tie. I notice that although his beard is quite full, his forehead is quite large. Is there some compulsion by men losing their hair to grow out their beard?
The photograph was made by Edward Atkinson at 8 Norfolk Row, Sheffield, England.
Who Were They? 
I think it was his last name.

I agree, I would think it was his last name too – but the fact that the photo was taken in Sheffield makes me seriously wonder about that.

Might the man above be Benjamin (or a relative?)

Yes, quite interesting. I think he was Uncle Taylor from Sheffield. I wish there was a way to know for certain.
