Title: Frisken photo set, Berwickshire & Lanarkshire [13]
Post by: efrisken on Tuesday 19 January 16 22:08 GMT (UK)

Photographer:  J. Kelly  (John Kelly?)
Location: Coatbridge, exact business location unknown
Date of photograph: 1880s-1890s?

No rear markings on the photos.  I've tried to find some info on J. Kelly but so far not found much that's helpful.

I'm only guessing at the date of the photos, a proper estimate by an expert would be very welcome!
Unknown man and woman, presumably a pair as they were kept together.  If anyone can also guess an age for them, I would very much appreciate it! 

Thank you very much again :-)

My guess would be 1880s and they look to be in their 30s and the lady is wearing a wedding ring...have you seen the lady's brooch in any other of your photos?

Thank you for the quick reply Carol!  No I haven't seen a similar brooch in any of the other photos.  I'll have to do a search for a likely couple based on this information.  The good news is that I don't think many of the folks that I've assembled so far have lived in that area, or even the wider Glasgow area.  Another Family Historian query required :-)
