Title: dating of photos of married(?) couple
Post by: mcnulty on Monday 31 January 11 19:16 GMT (UK)
Could someone possibly date the couple. He was born in 1857, she in 1856. They move from Lancashire to Canada c.1910 (??). Photos taken by Williams of Southport, Lancashire (close to where they lived prior to emigrating).

Many thanks,
Ian

Any printing/design on the back?

Cheers,

These are the images I received from the person in Canada to whom they belong. I will revert to him and ask for more details as you have requested.

While you're at it... :)...could you ask for a better scan if he has the original? This one has not, I think, been scanned in Photo mode...looks like document mode or something. See if you can get a 300dpi colour photo scan, uncropped. That will come in handy later for restoration should you request one :)

Cheers,
China

Unfortunately no more info on original photos. Here is what is hopefully a better image:
