Date Please - Annie Wilkinson

[cazza59]

Again, great minds. I questioned it with the person that gave me the photo but she swears it's Annie or Nancy as she was known by (no idea why), as she is a direct ancestor of hers only a couple of generations back.  I have a few photos of Annie and she does look like her but I have a niggling doubt.

I thought that she looked to be wearing thin dark gloves. Especially her left hand. They look very dark compared to her face even allowing for shadow. So you would not see a wedding ring.
A lovely photo Caz.

Yes you're right of course. That solves that one.

I'm not sure that she is wearing gloves, they would have to be really long...there appears to be veins showing on her right hand, I do see a bulge on her finger which looks like a ring.

I think she is wearing gloves and a bulge that is possibly aring is showing on left hand. 
The marks that you think might be veins, Carol, are decorative stitching that you find on may gloves. I've got a few pairs with that kind of stitching.

I thought the same as Hazelbea that she is wearing gloves, mainly because of the tone of her hands and arms (dark grey), but then as Carol points out, you can see veins and a bulge on her finger.  The only thing I can think of is that she is wearing evening gloves which is rather strange in itself.

Better late than never!  .  I know what you mean Gadget, like pin tucks on the top of the glove, and yes, I think you are right.

[HazelBea]

I thought that her attire was quite dressy to be wearing 3/4 sleeves without gloves.
The positioning of her left hand (fingers) looks odd. I wondered if she was holding something sparkly with a ray of light catching it ? Or maybe just a trick of the light

My reasoning on the gloves issue was that you usually see wrinkles around the wrist and between the fingers, but they could be very close fitting. I can see an impression where a ring would be.
