Can anyone help date this photo?
« on: Friday 26 March 10 13:55 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Looking for some help in trying to date this photograph in the hope that i can try and work out who they are??

On the bottom right hand side of the photo is the name A Lawton Jones 238 Upper Street. The side of the family i think they are from come from either Fulham/Hammersmith way or Holborn, London.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Chris

The photographer is a female one, Alice Lawton Jones (Born 1848 Holborn). She was at 238 Upper Street, Islington from 1911 - 1918. This fits with my own first thoughts on the photo from look of clothes, style etc, it is WWI era.

Thanks so much for your help.

How old would you put this couple? I think maybe late 50's early 60's??

Cheers

I'd say they were between early fifties to early 60's maximimum, personally.
