Title: Date a lady please Elizabeth Mills
Post by: robbo43 on Monday 01 March 21 20:52 GMT (UK)

Could anyone date this photo please and have a guess at the lady's age. Some members of the family believe it could be Elizabeth Mills (1864-1936) but there are other possibilities

Late 1870's & possibly into the early 80's.
She looks around 40.
I would look for someone born around 1838 +/- 5.

Agree with Jim  :)

Very similar dress here:

(I can't find one with the pinched up sleeve top though)
