Title: please date photo
Post by: annie2168 on Thursday 09 May 13 09:54 BST (UK)
I was given this photo by a cousin. she says its my great grandmother.
I dont think it can be her as she was born in 1858 and died in 1924 aged
66 years. Judging by her clothes, hair style  and age in the photo could this be her.
There seems to be a bustle at the back of her dress or is that a cushion?

I dont know her age in photo but she looks quite young.

Thanks

Thats all I have and if its the 1920 sadly it cant be her as she would have been in her 60s then.

Think that is a cushion not a bustle and going on her hairstyle and dress  would put it at 1920's as well.  Just freshened up the photo to make it a bit clearer for you - she's a pretty girl
