Title: Jane Ann Mills Dating photo
Post by: jim234j on Tuesday 16 May 23 16:08 BST (UK)

Sorry this photo is so small but it is all I have.
 My great grandmother Jane Ann Mills was born in Sunderland in 1845 and passed away, 1901 in Sunderland.

I was hoping that perhaps the top of the dress may give some idea on the year(s) of this photo.

Thank you and best wishes from Winnipeg.

Jim

Thank you for the excellent enlargement.  I really appreciate it.

I am sure it will help someone to get an approximate time frame for when it was taken

From what I can see, it could be late 1880s.

Here is my attempt.  Not sure on dates.  Likely the late 1890s.
