Date of photograph?

[JFarrell36]

Could someone help me to date this photograph please? The photo will enlarge when clicked upon. I would like to know a rough date so that I can attempt to match it into my family tree. Thanks.

Hi JF, a lovely photo...I hope you will do a hi-res scan of it and post it for restoration...

Judging by the woman's hairstyle and her blouse/skirt combination, I'd make a guess at about 1905-1910 or so...being able to see the length of the skirt would be nice, but since I can't, that's my best guess.

Cheers,
China

Thanks China. We're not sure who the couple are but the man's face really draws me in every time I look at it. I think he's got amazing eyes. I haven't got a scanner - is there any other way I can do a hi-res image for restoration?

Well, I think you really need a scanner, but you might try posting the image held by the image host and see what the restorers can do with it, you might get lucky

Cheers,

They are both wearing flowers...could it be a wedding?

High necks like that were only just managing to hang on in 1913, so I would say around the 1910 mark.

Hi I have a picture of my Gran wither her eldest Son born in 1902.  The picture must have been taken about 1907/8 + because Uncle is 5/6 years old!

Her parents portrait pictures taken at around the same time, because the suit of the man is almost identical to that of the man in the picture.

Was his hair the normal style for the time? We all thought it was quite radical!
