Hi,

My parents recently scanned a lot of family photos and sent them to me.  The two I have attached were in the batch, but no-one has any idea who they person were, when they were taken or in fact anything about them.  I guess they could just be random photos, but it would be useful if I could get some idea about when they were taken, so I can narrow down, who in the family was of a similar age at that time.

If anyone has any ideas about how I can identify the dates, these photos were likely to have been taken it would be really helpful !

Thanks

Victoria

looking at the room decor (assuming that it is not a studio) and the shoes that she is wearing and the hair style I would guess at late 1800's early 1900's. The clothing though looks older.

The first one's a bit odd looking & I'm leaning towards the opinion that it's not from the UK.
Late WW1 & possibly into the early 20's I would suggest.It might be useful to know what it is we're looking at,if it's a postcard & what's on the back.
The second one around the same time.

I agree with Jim

I wonder if they could be related...there are similarities in the features...my first instinct was 1920s too.

Very similar Sylvia.

I wonder if the lady in the first photo is expecting a baby...that dress looks as though it was made to accommodate and expanding waistline

That is exactly what I thought Carol - that she is sitting in that position to minimize her bump!
