Hi Chatters,
I would love to have some help with dating this family photo, which I believe to be of a member of my HARRIS family, from Hugglescote Leicestershire.
The original is slightly less than 6in by 4in, and is glued to a glossy white card, just a little larger. No photographer's name is visible, on either the front or the back of the cardboard mount, which simply has the name Emma written on it.
The children are also dressed in sailor suits, which I know were common for several decades. However, I would guess the date to be after 1878, which is when my great-grandfather Elijah HARRIS began writing again to his family in Hugglescote, Leics, after a gap of more than 20 years.
(He had migrated to Australia in 1855, and needed to do some catching up, as did his English relatives).
Many thanks,
Lesley
