Date Old Photo of GGGGGrandmother Reid

[Gadget]

I'm in two minds about it and thinking it could be the earlier date:

Add - Alternatively it could be circa 1889 with the pinched up sleeve tops.
 

Mind you - my 3 x greats were born 1812 -ish and 4x in the mid-late 1700s

IF  she is about 20-30, and the fashion is early 1900s,  it seems a stretch for her to be the OP's GGGgrandmother.    .

Just looked through the OPs previous posts and see that one of her 2x greats was born circa 1866 so I don't think that this is likely to be her 4xgreat.

Thanks All for your input. It should be 3timesGrandmother. Going by the years put forward its not who I think it is, which is a shame. My GGGGrandmother was born 1784 and the only reason I thought it was her is that it has 'Jennie' in the bottom right corner. Her name is actually Jane but she was called Jenny and her marriage record also says Jenny. Are there any other names that could possibly be shortened - if that's the right word - to Jenny? I have lots of Mary Janes which I suppose could be Jenny at a push.  Ladyt

Then it definitely isn't that one . . . . . Too young to be photographed at that age if born 1784. - if you see what I mean.

Possibly not even a family member - or could be a more distant rellie maybe.

It might even be a friend of the family and not related at all

Might indeed!

Agree with Gadget. Edwardian & probably the first half, so around 1900-05 I would suggest.

The thing is there is a family resemblance there I don’t think it’s a family friend though it is possible. Do you think she was born 1870-1880? I can then start going through the females in the family around that time. Thanks, Ladyt

Thank goodness for confirmation, Jim 

Look for circa 1870s-1880s births first, Ladyt.
