Have you tried to see if he had a passport? He could also have been in a newspaper or an obituary. Perhaps, you might be able to see if the driver license department might still have a picture of him.

Looking on ANCESTRY shows that 5 people have William Westley Hobley on their Family Trees. One of the Tree administrators is ANTHONY HOBLEY. I would suggest you nicely contact Anthony and see if he has a lead on the photo you are looking for. Keep in mind that you are probably a surprise addition to the family, and a skeleton coming out of the closet, so to speak. Consider establishing contact, get to know each other and share research interests, and then discuss relationships. Good Luck!

Thank you for your suggestions. I know Anthony Hobley. He is a DNA match on ancestry as half nephew. His family has no pictures nor idea of what he looks like. Can you share others that have William in their tree?
Thank You Again

There are a total of 5 trees with WWH listed.
William Hobley from tree Marcelyn Powell family tree_AutoBackup_2014-03-12 Brooks family
William Hobley from tree Hobley
William Wesley Hobley from tree Anthony Hobley Family Tree
Willie Hobley from tree My Super Family Tree (6 Degrees of Separation) [ PRIVATE ]
Willie L Hobley from tree Hobley
So it looks like William Hobley is another Hobley connection, and quite active from the looks of things.
So on both Anthony & William, your discussion would also include other possible people that might have a photo of William Westley Hobley.
More good luck!
