Emily or Susannah Savill?
« on: Friday 15 November 24 18:45 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,

This could be my gg grandmother (Emily Savill) or ggg grandmother (Susannah Savill nee Cakebread), however, I am having trouble dating it. I looked up the photographer and I found this info:

"His studio at 54 Mare Street, Hackney operated from 1891 to 1904 and was destroyed by fire in 1898. Studio at 174 Edgware Road, Paddington operated from 1895 to 1899."

Therefore, the photo has to have been taken between 1895-1899. Though, I am no fashion historian, but her hair and dress look much older. Though, if someone can help on here, that would be amazing. I have been trying to find a photo of both and recently my grandmother's cousin sent me this. It links to the right family and the area of Hackney.

Thank you,

MJ

Thank you Jim. That’s great to know. So then it must be Susannah who was born 1844.
