Can someone date this photo please
« on: Tuesday 22 February 11 09:47 GMT (UK) »
Hi this photograph is marked L Bearman, so she is likely to be Lily - unfortunately there are several Lily Bearman's in my tree, some who are Bearman's by marriage.  Though to me she looks a young girl with the loose hair and all and not likely to be a married lady so that rules her out for my great grandmother, I am thinking she might be the sister of my great grandfather.  help dating the photo might narrow down which Lily she is

Thanks

Thanks China, one possible is Lily Alice M Bearman born 1884 in Greenwich.  Another is that she is my great grandmother Lily Winifred Greene born 1886 in Kentish Town and that someone wrote Lily Bearman on the photograph some years later when she was married to William John Bearman, as the photograph was passed to me by Lily Bearman nee Greenes grandson.
