Dating Request
« on: Thursday 25 August 11 20:22 BST (UK) »
Hi
Can anyone give me a date on this photograph?  Perhaps because of the hat? The man sitting was injured in a mining accident c. 1926, but this photograph is believed to date from after, yet whilst he was still young. He was born in 1900, she in 1905. They lived in a mining village near Barnsley.
Thanks: Seth

I was thinking the same as both Jim and Prue.....the lady is wearing mid-late 1920s fashion, especially the cloche hat, but they look too old for the birth dates given. Seth, are you sure these people are who you think they are??

Older than the dates? Interesting.

Well here is what I was told was the same man taken after an accident c.1928-29.  So I suppose photo could have been taken c.30-31 with her about 26 and he about 31, perhaps slightly aged by accident (he was miner)? Ears are pretty distinctive.

He looks much older in the first picture though doesn't he? 

I'm with Prue and China re his age - as opposed to the age of the photo.   :-\

True. He does look older in first. But the injury was close to a breaking of back in mining accident. He recovered rather against the odds. So the experience could have aged him. Also in the second photo he may look gaunter and so possibly younger because he was then recovering from accident.

Are you sure your first picture couldn't be the injured miner's father?

I agree, don't believe he can have aged so much from your 1928/29 picture to the early 1930's one.
