Title: Can anyone help to date this said to be a photo of my Great Aunt Annie McCorkell
Post by: MaryMc on Monday 22 February 16 00:01 GMT (UK)

This is said to be a photo of my Great Aunt Annie McCorkell. She was born 1885, Londonderry, Ireland and died 1919, Enniskillen, Ireland.

If anyone can date this it may help me work out if it is her or not.
Thanks in advance!

Good morning,

You really need some of the other experts, Jim, China et al. But for what it's worth I think 1900/1910.

It's perfectly possible it's who you believe it to be.
Taken 1905-10 or thereabouts.
She appears to be wearing a wedding ring which should give you a starting date.

Thank you Jim. She was married in 1909 - so yes, it does seem that it's likely to be her.

Thanks, appreciated!

So probably taken that year shortly after marriage.
