Date for a PRINGLE

[Gadget]

I think Jane remains single:

1891

2 White Houses, Barefoot St, Ripon
RG12/3511/20/5
Jane A Pringle, hd, s, 44, Dressmaker, b. Newcastle on Tyne, Nbld
Minnie Pringle, niece, s, 17, b. York, Yks
Mary J Lawson, boarder, s, 40, postal clerk, b. Catterick, Yks

1901

2 Barefoot Street, Ripon
RG13/4042/40/22
Jane Ann Pringle, hd, s, 54, Dressmaker, b. Newcastle, Nbld
Minnie Pringle, niece, s, 24, -, b. York, Yks


The 1911 Free Index has a Jane Ann Pringle, 64, living in Ripon. I put in born Newcastle and this was the only one, so I assume it's her

She maybe moved to Devon to stay with sister, Eleanor Sleeman, or relatives (last census info for Eleanor was in Tavistock) ~

Death: Jane A Pringle,  Jun q, 1921, Tavistock. Aged 75

I wonder what the ring was - or was the annotation correct?

Not sure what else there is to find

Blimey gnu,you've been busy.I saw China's comment but can't make my mind up if it's a ring or just a mark on the photo.Photos in Richmond,Pringle family with all the correct names in Richmond point to you being right.It's not a big place is it.Probably even smaller back then.

I've hurt my ankle so I'm incommoded 

I was last in Richmond in 1971, George - went to an Auction. it's not very big at all compared with here.

I'm sure we have the right family but am wondering if the person writing the notes on the back got it all wrong. The ages don't match with  late 1860- early 1870s piccies. I've had a  good look in my books and they really smack of early 1870s  - hair, clothes,pose,  3/4 image, etc.   

Have you tried looking up the photographers?

Just skimming through this & it looks to me like Jane,Eleanor & Elizabeth taken during the 70's at various times.

So how do you account for the first one, Jim - labelled Ann Pringle, the mother. She died 1875, aged 62 

It could be wrong labelling, as I've suggested, but she doesn't seem to fit in to the others' ages - b.  1846, 1851 and 1858 - ish

I'll go with  Elizabeth (1858) but this one looks a bit too old for either of the older ones - they'd be early to mid 20s and not in mourning

Eleanor seems to have been born Westminster Dec Q 1850.

Jane Ann, Morpeth Sept Q 1847.

So they're 3 years apart. They look quite a bit younger in the photos, especially with the hair down. But this has to be the right family.

I think Jane is wearing a decorative ring.

It could be a mourning ring.
The ages fit for 1870's but I agree the labelling on the first one is wrong.

I thought it might be a mourning ring but, if it is, then it must be Elizabeth (b.c. 1858) and not Jane (b. c. 1847) as mother died in 1875 - Jane would have been late 20s and the photo is not of a girl of that age.

As you can see from the census info that I put up this morning, Jane never married.

We've solved the original question anyway....it's Jane not June
