Henry Family, Gateshead

Agree with Gadget, mid-late 1890's for sure.

Thank you jim1, you and Gadget are now in joint position at the top of my list of this week's favourite people :-)

Re the specs.  I've just downloaded and he is wearing specs - those nearly rimless ones that I still wear at times 

Thanks, I really don't mind that Trishanne removed them, perhaps it was a technical decision to be able to clean it and its perfectly acceptable here.
At least I know I wasn't imagining things :-)

It might be possible to tweak it a bit.
The mother is wearing the latest style which signalled the end of the Gigot era
& would put this at the upper end of the dates.

Thank you again jim1.

It all fits with what I know about this family.

I'm just doing a restore, Boo. Here's a screen grab of the son with specs.  It's going to take me a while as I want to take advantage of the weather that we're having up here. I'll try and get it done today-tomorrow.

Thanks Gadget, there's never any rush whatsoever, its really kind of people to do this amazing stuff and I really appreciate the help.

I do have a (not brilliant) later photo of this one which shows him wearing specs a good few years later. It does look (to me at least) like the same person, just older.

  I too was puzzled about the specs. I thought at first someone had drawn them in

    but they don't look right which may be the reflection on the frames. Anyway I've left them in although you can't really see them until you enlarge the pic.
