Title: Date for Milne family photo
Post by: mgs1 on Wednesday 23 April 25 10:51 BST (UK)

I know the photo posted was taken in Dundee but the photographers (D & W Prophet) were in business from 1884 to 1964. I'm guessing this is Edwardian but is it possible to date it more accurately.  If it's any help the older couple were both born in 1856, their daughter in 1879 and the young man who was her husband in 1875.

Late Victorian around 1896-98.

Thanks, that ties in nicely with other information handed down about this family.
