Possibly Samuel Gower - this photo was taken to Australia by Florence-Queenie Gower (b.1884) along with those below. These two branches of the family seem to have been close while in Kent.
on the back: "Lotty Gower, Saltwood." - presumably the one born 1882. The photo was taken to Australia by her cousin Florence (Queenie) Gower who b.1884 so they would have known each other.
on the back: "Bertha Gower Saltwood Hythe, Kent, England." - appears to be Bertha Annie b.1875
thought to be the same Bertha A. Gower as above
