Dating for my 3x great grandmother please

[leonp]

Hi

This is a photo of my 3x great grandmother and hopefully my great grandfather.

To fit, then this photo would be taken around 1890 with the woman being 69 and the boy 4.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Hello Leon
Well this sort of fits that date but the lady is wearing a very stylised outfit.It appears she may have an early gigot sleeve to her bodice which would fit an 1893-5 date,her hat also.The boy's sailor suit was also popular throughout the 90's & well into the 20th.C.It's possible this could be early 20th.C so if you have the original can you rescan it in colour & show all of the cardstock & the back.

Hi Jim

This photo came from my uncle so I will ask if he has the original. If so I will ask for a colour scan of front and back.

I have a death record for Hannah in mid 1891, so I was pitching this photo very late in her life.

Still waiting for a colour scan but should be able to obtain one.

To help build the case, what do you think of about the date of this photo which has the same woman but younger.

Let me know what you think.

You may have to have a rethink,this one is around 1907-10.

So that put's the first photo at around 1925ish???

Feasible?

I was just browsing through the photo's when i saw this one and i was wondering why the mans head was above the gentleman who is standing, and also the gentleman who is sitting appears to have something wrong with his hands.
 I hope you don't mind me asking.

Hi Jim

Can you please clarify for me.

You think the photo with the little boy is 1893-1895 and the wedding shot is 1907-1910?

If I understand that correctly then I can only assume you do not think the same woman appears in both photos?

thanks

Leon
