Date the photograph
« on: Wednesday 30 April 08 19:11 BST (UK) »
Seeking an approximate date for the attached picture of the lady I have been given to understand is my grandmother. She died at the age of 32 years in 1907. So I'm unsure that I've been advised correctly.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Mourne  ;)

Welcome to RootsChat!!

I would say this lady is in her late forties or early fifties!

Hi Mourne,

Yep, thought it was you...as I said WELCOME TO RC!!!!

I've sent you a personal message, so we can exchange stuff that's not relevant to this posting, privately.

Lovely picture...

Hi and welcome Mourne,  :D
At first I thought..get off, she's older than that....
BUT
Then I thought, hang of, if she died when she wa s32....was she ill, and is that why she looks 45-50
Just something to consider.

Hmmmm...not only does this lady look quite a bit older than 32, her hairstyle is much more modern than 1907, the way it sweeps down over her forehead. Just my opinion... :)

I agree that the lady looks older than 32 (even if she was ill  :-\  ) and that the hairstyle and setting etc. suggest a date later than 1907...I would be going for about 10 years later than that - around the middle of WW1 - and as for her age, probably late 40s to around 50.

Prue  :)
