Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Photo for dating please, possible Keble Family
« on: Saturday 22 October 16 14:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi Jim

Thanks for the information. This could well be the Keble sisters then, all daughters of Thomas Keble Junior. As far as I can see they would all remain spinsters except Lucy who got married to Vaughan Kestell Kestell-Cornish who was in the diplomatic service and travelled the world. Lucy married in 1894 in Bombay so this photo could well be her parting with her sisters, although she did return to Bisley later. She must have travelled with Vaughan as one of her children was born in Uruguay.

I think the start date for this is late 1890's. I don't think it's later than 1905 as these bodices would have been a bit old fashioned for young women to wear.
It would help if we knew what we were looking at. Is it a cabinet card, postcard or something else ?

The photo is from an album of cabinet and carte de visites but it is not either of these it is a photo printed on quite thin paper and cut down to fit into a cabinet card sized slot in the album.

I thought the album might date from 1885-1895. If the ladies in the album are the five daughters of Rev Thomas Keble of Bisley. they would have been aged 34,28,25,24 and 21 in 1891 and that might look reasonable looking at their faces. However if the styling of their clothes dates the photo to 1900 then it either cant be the people I think it is, or they are looking young for their age. Is there any chance it could date from 1891 ish

Thanks
Steve

Thanks everyone for your expertise and all the information. I will add it to my research as I am tracing a particular album and this is one of the chaps from the album. You never know I may eventually find out who he is.

Thanks

Yes  I think the bloke on the right does seem to be a bit of a character, maybe he is an actor. I have another photo of the same place which might help.
