Post by: tillyminto on Sunday 17 February 13 16:09 GMT (UK)
I think this is a cabinet card photo?

I'm trying to date the couple so I can identify them in my Parr family tree.

I hope the file is big enough!

Many thanks in advance  :D

Hi Tilly...The daters will want to see the back too if you have it.

Thanks Carol, the back is just plain dark brown/black.

I think I have posted this in the wrong place  ???

We just need to see the back if we can't figger it out by looking at the front :)

Around 1892-3 or so. The lady has a sweet face and she may have just had a baby. Complete conjecture, of course :)

Batley, just up the road from my lot in Mirfield and Thornhill :)

Cheers,
China

Hi Tilly...I gave it a quick go for you but it is very badly compressed and pixelates on enlargement.

Many thanks Carol for the photo, much, much clearer! I have scanned it on a larger resolution but don't think it would upload to the site.  I can now see that they are younger than I first thought and maybe she had just had a baby?.... but then again they are both a bit on the tubby side  ;)

China ~ you are spot on!! Have just discovered that this photographer's studio was in Batley from 1893 - 1899! 

Thanks very much ladies  :-*

The woman's bodice style is either a late kick-up or early gigot,there's not much difference,which dates it 1892-4ish.
