Date for a PRINGLE

[chinakay]

Jane got the short end of this pair of photos...hers looks like it's been cut & pasted onto the backing by a 4-year-old

Is Jane showing a left-hand ring?? I think she has something, and the left hand is on display, not like Eleanor who is hiding hers.

I thought I saw something last night but wasn't sure as I'd not got any general light on. Here's a snip, adjusted and enlarged.

Found them in 1861:

9 Castle Yard, Richmond
RG9/3674/46/2
Edward Pringle. 55. staff Sergeant, N Y Militia, b, Keyloe, Durham
Ann, w, 45, b. Greenside, Northumberland
Edward, s, unm, 17, clerk NE Railways, b. Newcastle, Nbld
Jane A, d, 14, house servant, b. -do-
Richard J, s, 12, b. London, Mdx
Ellen, d, 10, b. -do-
John, s, 7, b. Richmond, Yks
Elizabeth, d, 3, b. -do

The photos of the two girls were taken by a  Richmond photographer.

Still in Yorkshire in 1871:

Castle Yard, Richmond
RG10/4874/49/8
Edward Pringle. 65, Staff of N York Militia, b. Durham, <?>,  Kyloe
Ann, w, 55, b. Durham, Greenside
Ellen, d, unm, 20, dressmaker, b. Mdx, Westminster
John, s, unm, 17, railway clerk, b. Yks, Richmond
Elizabeth, d, 13, scholar, b. -do-

Looks as if Jane was either married or elsewhere - maybe this is a clue that the photos were taken before the 1871 census

And in 1881, only Edward and Elizabeth:

36 Low Skellgate, ' Public Rooms', Ripon - next to Turks Head - could they have been staying there?
RG10/4318/14/22
Edward Pringle, widower, Pensioner Chelsea  and Librarian, b. Holy Island, Durham (note - the North part of Northumberland was part of Co Durham until 1844)
Elizabeth, d, single, 23, b. Richmond, Yks

Eleanor/Ellen married in Ripon RD 2 years later

Death of Ann Pringle:

Ann Pringle, aged 62
Dec q, 1875, Richmond,Yks, 9d, 444

I think that this might be Jane in 1871:

Esplanade, Scarborough
RG10/4817/64/12
Household of John and Caroline Hutton
...
Jane A Pringle, servant, unm, 24, Ladies maid - Domestic, b. Northumberland, Newcastle

So photo most likely taken pre 1871 or the person annotating the backs has got the wrong family

Found them both in 1881!:

Nevills Bldings, Sunninghill, Windsor
RG11/1322/115/20
Jane Ann Pringle, hd, unm, 34, Dress Maker, b. Newcastle upon Tyne, Nbld
Ellen, sister, unm, 30, -do-, b. London
Henry Gillingham, lodger, unm, 25, joiner, b. Rochford, Esx
Henry East, lodger, unm, 25, joiner, b. Burford, Oxd
Frank Foulger, lodger, unm, 22, joiner, b. Whitechurch, Bucks

Hmm - what were they doing down there
