Photo dating help please
« on: Saturday 30 May 09 18:50 BST (UK) »
Hope somebody can help with dating this photo

There is no photographer information. I am hoping it might be early 1900s from Pennsylvania USA (as my JOBES ancestors had relatives out there)

If it is c 1905 the family would be

Robert 43,
Annie 39
John 19
Mary 18
George 14
Evaline 8

Grateful for any indicators to help prove/disprove this theory!

Many thanks
Rebecca

Hello Rebecca
The time frame is about about right with little Evaline being the most fashionable
of the girls.These photo mounts were becoming popular early 1900's.So looks like
the right family although I'm not sure about Mary,poor girl looks a lot older than 18.

Annie and Mary look more or less the same age - is it possibly a mis-reading of 18 and she's 38 ?
