Wow thanks everyone for the help and input!

Question regarding mourning; would she have continued to dress like this after she remarried following her 1st husbands death?
Because if wouldn't be wearing these clothes/the chain after remarriage this means it is definitely between her 1st husbands death and her remarriage.

Many thanks!

Thanks so much all for the help and comments.
Thank you Wiggy for the wonderful restoration.

Jim1 this photo is one of the few links we have to my great-great-great grandmother. the only record she is mentioned in is her remarriage in 1883 after being widowed sometime before that. What a good eye you have!

Hi there,

any help dating this photo from the Nicholson family of South Australia would be greatly appreciated.
Believed to be a photo of Margaret Nicholson, mother of James Henry and wife of Henry, later Tilney Cotton.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Jill,

William Thomas Bindley Webb was my G-G-G-G-G-Grandfather through his daughter Harriet Ada Hussey (nee Webb). I would love to talk to you further about WTBW and his father. I had no idea they were artists and am very keen to see their work.

Please do feel free to contact me directly.

Many thanks,
Ben Nicholson

That's our Jessie. :) She very well could be in this photo though I'm not sure which person. She went deaf and died quite young, but was an extremely intelligent and passionate woman who pursued scientific study at a time when she was discouraged to do so "lest it distract from her filial duties and happiness". She's quite the inspiration. I'll attach a photo of her in case anyone else can recognize her. :D
