Title: Great grandmother for clean-up. Date/age?
Post by: robbo43 on Tuesday 31 March 09 19:57 BST (UK)

Another one of mine.  Great grandmother Elizabeth, born 1846.  Would appreciate a clean up please.  Suggestions as to the date or her age welcome, it has to be after 1884/5 as they didn't move to the area till then. The broach survives, more or less, in a little box of trinkets my mother had as a child.

Thanks

Robert

About late 1890s for a date, I think, Robert...

Cheers,

Thanks for the brilliant work Bogga & Irene.  Thanks for the date, China, that puts her in her early fifties then.

Off on the wander visiting family for a week or so, when I get back I'll post a picture of her husband which I think is about the same date, and one of the pair of them which I am guessing is about 1920
