Title: Date Request - Is this G-Aunt Biddy
Post by: jfremont on Friday 03 June 22 18:34 BST (UK)

The woman in this scanned photo is thought to be my G-Aunt. The children are unidentified but it has been assumed they may be two of her children. The source does not have a scan of the back of the photo. Biddy was born 1882 and had four children; boy 1901, girl 1906, boy 1910, girl 1918.
Is it possible to date this photo? Also an opinion of the ages of the individuals and any other observations would be a big help.
Thank you
 John

It's Edwardian & after 1903.
The woman looks into her 60's, the girl 8/9 & boy 6/7.

Thanks Jim. It appears the woman is not Biddy who would be much younger than in her 60's. The children may be the grandchildren of the woman. I will look at other possibilities.
This is a big help.
