This I know is a picture of a Samuel HOOKINS and I believe him tp be the Samuel who was a son of William who has been referred to on a number of other posts. Samuel was born in Huntspill on Boxing Day of 1881 and at the time of his marriage to Alice Lily PHELPS in 1909 he was a gardener and Alice was a dressmaker. They had one daughter Violet Lilian who had been a teacher and who lived in Weston super Mare. She was the lady who porvided me with the one page newspaper cutting about the Hookins family in uniform on which Samuel was featured. Unfortunately Alice and Samuel separated and Alice died in 1954 before Samuel in 1974. Violet died in a Care Home in Weston-super-Mare in 2004.
