On 10 February 2008 Shari Edwards from Kansas USA sent a photograph (which can be seen by scrolling down the page and clicking on the thumbnail image) and wrote "Arthur Robert Dibbens Sr., my great great grandfather, is the man in the picture. He died in 1932 in Kansas so it was years before that. They made several trips to England to visit their family. His wife Anna died in Southsea in 1919 while visiting family in Ryde, the photograph might have been taken about that time. They spent most of their years on a farm in Cheney, Kansas, USA. William was a Town Carter and was born in about 1815 maybe in Hampshire".
