« on: Saturday 25 July 09 17:18 BST (UK) »
Please could someone give me some idea of the date of this photo. Also I would like some information on the necklace she is wearing. She is my 1 or 2 x grt grandmother.
Thanks Lynda

Sorry I was given it as a copy black and white photo. I don't know if there was any thing on the back. A cousin in Canada gave it to me when he was visiting the UK.

Is there a wedding ring on her finger?  It looks as though there might be one and she is holding her hands as if to show one off.

Thanks Irene that is wonderful.

Yes I think it is a wedding ring. I am almost wondering if it is a wedding photo?
It looks like flowers in her hand.

That is what I was thinking.  Do you know the date of her marriage?

Well, maybe about 1865 or so?

I don't know the date of her marriage. If it is Elizabeth Carpenter (nee Cole) from Buckfastleigh. I can not find a marriage record as yet for her and James Carpenter.

China 1865 is not far off. If it is a marriage photo it would be somewhere from 1862.

Her husband was in China in the army up until late 1861. He came back to England in April 1862.

Thanks
