Okay...photo+postcard back-stamp box=after 1923 :)

Prue could be right....hemlines went back down again in 1929, so if they're not going up for the first time they could be going up for the second time :)

Cheers,

china, many thanks for the postcard dating. So my photo dates from between 1924 - 1931, with perhaps late 1920's being the best guess?

prue, thanks for sharing your photo of your nana. Her pose,clothing and even the background radiates a kind of 'military' feel to the photo.

Incidentally,i notice you are researching the Francis family in Essex. I have Francis ancestors born in Colchester,Essex, during the 1820's if that ties in with your family.
