Title: Dating of Photo of Ruby Mills Please
Post by: Leigh P on Friday 22 December 23 04:18 GMT (UK)
I would appreciate it, if this photo could be dated please. I believe the photo could be of my great aunt born 1893 in Victoria, Australia. Other family members think it is of my great grandmother born 1858 Victoria, Australia.

She looks about 14 so if it was someone born 1858
this would be around 1872 which it isn't.
She's dressed typically in an Edwardian style popular
from around 1903-08 so taken around 1905 would be about right.

Thank you to both Jim 1 and japeflakes for your replies. It is much appreciated. So the photo has to be of my great aunt which I thought it was.
