Dating an old Victorian photo please?
« on: Saturday 28 May 11 14:27 BST (UK) »
Hello,
Thanks to everyone who helped with my last post, we managed to identify everyone in the photo based on the date given, many thanks! I do have one more if people don't mind? This ancestor had three wives and I'd like to learn which one this is. Can anyone help date it? Many thanks.
Judith.

Looks like she is hiding all three under that voluminous dress ;)

Late 1860s likely, but please do not crop the edges off the photo.

Thanks for the dating. The photo and scan isn't mine, it was sent to me in this manner, sorry if it's not ideal to date. We know who the gentleman is because we have other photos of him with the names written on the back but this one doesn't. He was born in 1807 if it helps.Thanks for your comments.
