Thank you very much.

I shall treasure these.

Amazing how much more one can see when a photo has been scanned. What's that bottle doing on the windowsill? :-)


Mid to late forties - born about 1856. I am hopeless guessing ages :-)

There's also an oil lamp, I wonder if that was when you had to nip out in the dark to the outside loo.....
She looks a smashing person, I wish she was mine.
I'm no good with ages, but I will say, in the one with the locket she looks much more care worn than in the one with the little un....though by photo and frocks they are clearly years apart.
Perhaps the loss of great uncle was bearing down on her at the time.

Hi JoyKM,

Now I have been looking carefully at the pictures and the comments and my guess is mid 40 to late 40's!

The hard work and many children aged them fast in those days. Not to mentions wars and so on!

I remember those tin baths too do!  Does anyone else?

I have a photo of my daughter being bathed in one in 1972 or 1973 - and I still have a couple of tin baths in my garden shed.

Hi Robert, Hi Paula,
 
They were also good for bathing the dog!  You are so lucky to still have them Robert they are so very useful!
