Hello,
I have been sent a very small scan via email of a lady who the sender believes is Isabella, born 1821, and married about 1841. Access to the original card is sadly not possible- hopefully this attachment is enough to do the trick.
Many thanks for any help that can be given.

Hi Cee-Emm :)
1870s photo, I would say, so unlikely to be the lady you mention. She looks very young, although I can see a ring on her wedding finger I think. Perhaps someone born 1850-1855?
Cheers

Thank you Prue for your speedy response!
1870's --ow! I doubt whether Isabella had discovered the fountain of youth!!( she does look very young) so I have to think that perhaps we have the next generation. This photo would be taken in Victoria in that case.
Isabella had two daughters b 1848 and 1849 so I may have to go back to the drawing board.!
many thanks again :)
Cee.

Agree with Prue although it's difficult to say which part of the decade without seeing the original.
She wearing adult clothes but still has her hair down so I would say 16-18 YO.
I doubt this is anyone born in the 1840's.

thank you also Jim, I have now decided can't be a daughter of Isabella either,plus 18 is still only 1867..
Mary Ann b1847 married 1866
Jane b 1843 m 1878
Eliza b 1848 unmarried
the most likely candidate is now a brothers wife:Ann b 1855, married 1876.
thanks for helping me get my thoughts together on this!
