Photograph date?

[ozjan]

Hi all

Can anyone date this photo for me please?  It is a postcard format and I have identified the church gate as All Saints Church, Cuddesden, Oxfordshire.  The date would help me to identify the folks.

Thanks!
Janet

Late Edwardian & possibly up to WW1.

Thanks Jim. 

I'll put circa 1910 and see if I can now identify the family members.

Agree with pre ww1 - 1908 onwards

Sorry, but I have to laugh at the hat of the lady in the middle (with the smaller child) !   It reminds me of Edward Lears 'The Quangle Wangle's Hat' .... with Helen Oxenburys illustrations .... see   http://www.rootschat.com/links/0u4c/

"On the top of the Crumpetty Tree
      The Quangle Wangle sat,
But his face you could not see,
      On account of his Beaver Hat.
For his Hat was a hundred and two feet wide,
With ribbons and bibbons on every side
And bells, and buttons, and loops, and lace,
So that nobody ever could see the face
            Of the Quangle Wangle Quee. "

One of my childrens favourites many years ago .... and apologies for digressing from the topic !!

That's called a mushroom hat and was designed to fit over the pompadour hairstyle. Thankfully a short-lived fashion, came out around 1908 or so and lasted just a couple of years. There are a couple of other ones on the photo, but the lady with the kid is making the most of hers

Cheers,
China
