Hi Mina

sorry for the very long delay in replying but I have only just seen your message on the rootschat site.
I tried sending you a personal message but it was unable to send saying your "in box was full".

I have some information about Christiana and the family tree which I could pass on to you if you send me a personal message I can organise that.

It seems that the date fits better with another "grandmother" who passed away in 1940 at aged 77.  
Thank you for all your help everyone.

Yes I think it is a handbag with a metal clasp on the top.

Hi thanks for your replies.
It may well be that it is later than 1900 which would rule out the midwife relative. I just have no idea myself.

I would really appreciate any help with dating this photograph.
This is a copy of a family picture but we are not sure who it is of. It says "grandmother" on the back but we need help working out which relative it could be. It is only a copy of a copy so I am not sure what the original one was really like.
I do know that the stain on the picture was not on the original it is only in this copy.
We think it was most likely taken in Sheffield and could have been from a relative who was a midwife in the mid to late 1800's. She was still working at 72 and died 3 years later in 1903. We wondered if this could be a uniform or just normal clothing for that time. It's difficult to see in detail as I know it's not a great copy.

Thank you

Adele

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Can you read the names of witnesses?

I also thought it was weiss but I'm sure the first name is Ludovic. It definitely has an 'i' just before the last letter you can see the small dot on my copy?   
The second christian name begins with an 'A' and ends with a 'd' but not sure about the rest?

She is in the "Born in Sheffield" book and I have seen her referenced in another local history book but can't remember the name of it.
The name is misspelled as "Christina" quite often.  She is referenced as one of the first trained midwives in Sheffield and her pension amount is quoted in the books. 
I have been trying to get some pictures of her as I know she was involved in the opening of the Jessop Hospital but I think I need to go to the Sheffield Archives for that.  We do have a picture of someone we believe may be Christiana Eckhardt but wanted to clarify this.

p.s.

just checking if you if you are aware of Christiana's local history references regarding her Midwifery career?

Hi Steve
I have traced the family back to Germany and have Sophia and Christiana's parents (Adam and Susannah) and paternal grandparents names. Have you traced any further back than that? I have not been able to trace their actual passage to the UK though.
