This is a picture (supposedly) of my great-great-great-great-great grandfather Finlay Sinclair and his wife Martha Lawrence. I'm dubious that based on the clothing if this is my Finlay or Finlay's nephew of the same name. Certainly in 1855, he would be about 70 years old--is the clothing appropriate to then or does it seem later to you (say about 1870s)?
Judging from the cut of the lady's dress (and the angle of her hat) I'm suspecting it's Finlay the namesake nephew, not Finlay your ancestor.
