Unidentified country house

[noytd]

I've been doing a bit of digging.

I think the album is the Polhill family. The first photo is an 1860s image of Emily Polhill, the second image is from the wedding photo in my album. There seems to be a good resemblance, perhaps mother and daughter?



I have not yet found any marriages 1900-1910 era, but I shall keep on searching

Where does the 1860s date come from for the first photo....it looks later to me.

Could be the same lady noytd, but with your album photo taken a few years later. They are holding their mouths the same way.

What do you think Carol? aged 45-50 in the first photo and 60s in the second? Or maybe a bit younger in both?    How do you think that fits in age, possible date and fashion wise?

From the attached photo on alamy. The image does appear to match Howbury Hall (note the door bell and stonework). To be the identified people the photo would need to be from the 1860s.

However, if Alamy is wrong with the date and identification ... when the Pohill family returned in around 1904 there would have been teenage children from the next generation.

But the 1870s to the 1890s would be ruled out due to the family history.

Seeing the whole photo makes a big difference...I would have said it was 1870s but it could be late 1860s. It does look like the same house.

There is a strong likeness so most likely Mother and Daughter.

Emily, as Beatrice Emily, was born 1q 1866, Bedford, 3b, 377, if that's any help.

I assume that she's the little one in the  chair.

Well that clinches it really doesn't it.  How old is little Beatrice in that photo? Two? 

Photo taken in 1868?

If Cecil is born in 1860 he looks younger than 8 in this photo doesn't he? I suppose Alice could be 12.

It might be worth double checking your photo of Cecil Polhill.I have found the following which suggests the photo may be of his brother Arthur,and Cecil,as shown below,looks a ittle like the gentleman in the "Woodcote" photo in #140.
