Please date & repair this photo - could it be 1880?
« on: Sunday 12 May 13 05:51 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I have just been fortunate enough to receive this photo - and am trying to narrow down who I think it is.  My best guess is that it's my Great Great Grandmother with my Great Grandmother on her knee.  My Great Grandmother (the baby) was born in 1879, her mother died her mother died in 1884.

I wonder if someone skilled in photo dating could look at the photo to see if it might have been taken  around 1880/1.

I would also be grateful if the photo could be repaired (& coloured if you have time).

Thank you so much for looking.

I'm afraid this is much later,early Edwardian & it could be boy or girl as they were dressed the same.
