Plz help date old Nicholson family photo
« on: Friday 06 January 17 09:31 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,

any help dating this photo from the Nicholson family of South Australia would be greatly appreciated.
Believed to be a photo of Margaret Nicholson, mother of James Henry and wife of Henry, later Tilney Cotton.

Many thanks in advance.

What a lovely photo...my guess would be late 1880s early 1990s.

Hi Ben . .

You haven't asked for restoration or cleaning of this photo, but I hope you don't mind if we have a go - it isn't often we get decent scans these days, and she is such a pleasant looking woman!   :)

Actually she reminds me a lot of my mother - not the clothes - the expression.  ;)

Just minimal clean up!

Agree with Carol's date. I notice she's wearing a man's watch chain. Was she widowed by this time ?

Thanks so much all for the help and comments.
Thank you Wiggy for the wonderful restoration.

Jim1 this photo is one of the few links we have to my great-great-great grandmother. the only record she is mentioned in is her remarriage in 1883 after being widowed sometime before that. What a good eye you have!
