Orkney / Re: Links with Lancashire

I've just seen the actual marriage record on Scotland's People - he was in the army, which explains why he was in Orkney instead of Lancashire!

Orkney / Links with Lancashire
« on: Monday 07 October 24 22:04 BST (UK) »
I'm doing someone's family history for them and have found a young man (Samuel Singleton/town) born in Lancashire who apparently went to Orkney and married Mary Folster on 1st June 1813 in Stromness. They seemed to have stayed a while and had at least one daughter before moving back to Manchester.
Does anyone have any idea why a man from Lancashire would go to Orkney at that time? Were there any occupation/industry links? Is Singleton perhaps an old Orkney family?

Thank you very much.
I'm also looking for an opinion on the young woman bottom left. Is it possible she's quite young, given the different neckline she's wearing? Mary Hooppell (the mother in the middle) only had 3 daughters so I'm trying to establish which one wasn't hers.
Her daughters were born in 1871, 1880 and 1882. Her eldest daughter didn't marry and died in 1906.

Thank you - I didn't know you were also a fashion expert. I apologise if I've offended you.
Perhaps I'm being too ambitious with my question but I'm going by some dating Jim did for me a few years ago when he dated something within 2 years due to the collars of the men and sleeves of the women.

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate your help.
If possible, I'm hoping that one of the fashion experts here could give me a more precise estimate of date. I think the photo is not later than 1906 due to death dates but I could be wrong.
I'm also wondering if the fashion worn by the woman at bottom left suggests she's younger than the others?
