Of course. Do you think the hat/cap she's wearing is a sort of widow's cap?
really not sure but I can’t imagine they are the same age. I think she looks much older than him personally

Is it possible for you to show us the back?

I wish. Only had a copy and no idea who has the original

So I BELIEVED this to be my Great grandfather  George McQuire/MacQuire Born cir 1845 in High Halden, Kent and his mother, Caroline MacQuire, nee Sayer born Warehorn Kent, Cir 1819- Feb 3, 1885. She would have been a widow since 1866 and I thought her outfit appeared to be something a widow would wear.  I base this on the slimmest of evidence. Almost nothing. Who I acquired the photo from, the fact that the man has a very strong resemblance to a modern day relative. I also believe this other woman to be the man's wife (below) and her name was Susannah Henrietta McQuire, nee Weatherhead. Unless you think this could be the same woman but she looks very frail in the photo sitting down. If none of this works out, I'm at square one.  ??? ;D ;D

It looks like this one c. 1880.

Yes but to me in my photo the woman looks much older. Maybe she had a harder life  ;D

Hello all: ???

I have a guess who this may be in my family but was curious as to others thoughts on the time frame, economic status, relationship of the 2 in the photo (married, mother/son etc) or anything else you can opine on. Thank you in advance!

I don't think they would have had children given their ages at Marriage.?

I’d I could impose Trish if you have an ancestry membership, I see Catherine  on a couple of family trees I can’t access. She’s listed at Catherine Harriett McQuire born in Clerkenwell.
On a
Tregoning Family Tree
And Allen Family Tree. Thank you

Ha! Detective I am didn’t notice his age at marriage! Perhaps she was considerably younger. Probably not.
