Hairstyle looks kind of 1920ish...if we could see the whole thing it would be helpful. Is there anything printed on the back? How big is the photo?

Cheers,

I wondered if it was a uniform of some kind from during the war...it looks miles too big for her :)

I'll find out more about the originals

thanks

I don't think a uniform,this was the dress style at the time.
A nurse's uniform was different if that's what you were thinking of.In the meantime a bit of a tidy up.

thanks so much Jim :)

I have saved them so far and requested more info on the originals from my uncle.

so many responses came I'll have to sift through them tomorrow and note the dates properly to see if i can match them up with people.

I'm almost sure the uniform man is Arthur O'Connor, my grandad's older brother B:1893.  No one even knew he had a brother until I found him on a census so it could be that he died in the war and was never talked about??  He would have been 21 to 25 from start to end of ww1.

without everyone's advice on here I wouldn't have got that far!! 
Fascinating stuff  ;D

thanks again
K :)
