Who was your great grandfather - his name and birth year would help and do you know names of his parents or siblings, wife or children

Looks like Line 4 originally redacted - record for this person is officially closed but maybe opened at some point to show the name of Kenneth. I can't see a Kenneth elsewhere on the page.

Is there a date on the photo?
How old do you think the man in the photo is?

"Harold" might be Ernest Harold 1896, if also known by middle name - and if that's the right family in the censuses posted above.
