Title: Can anyone date this photograph please? Born either 1806/1837- Dagg or Turnbull
Post by: FamilyHistoryHunter on Wednesday 03 August 16 16:05 BST (UK)

This photograph (we think) is either of Agnes Dagg born 21.05.1806 Falstone, Northumberland or her daughter Mary Agnes Turnbull b1837 Elsdon,  Northumberland.

I would greatly appreciate any thoughts as to who it is a photograph of and the approximate date of the photograph.

Thank you!

Hi and welcome to Rootschat...can you post the whole photo including the corners and the back if you have it as it helps with dating.

I would say the photograph is of Agnes Dagg.  It was possibly taken during the middle Victorian period.

I would go for Agnes dagg.  The dress style maybe an adapted 1860 dress as skirt looks quite wide and shoulders low.

Removed some of the color cast.  Maybe slightly more visible.

Pretty old thread and the OP hasn't ever been back since making the request.
