Mystery photo from UK

Is it possible for you to show us the back?

[Treetotal]

I would agree with Gadget on dates, However, It looks more like a medallion Than a pocket watch and I can't see  a winder,
 though I could be wrong.

It looks like this one c. 1880.

Yes but to me in my photo the woman looks much older. Maybe she had a harder life

See my early reply and Treetotal's comment - we have dated it as mid to late 1890s.  The ref made by Patluc is wrong. Women's clothing was very different in the 1880s.

Add - and various refs from Jayne Shrimpton

Yiu might have missed this request - backs can give lots of information

Is it possible for you to show us the back?

Also, this looks like a crop from a larger image. Can you scan the full photo with edges, please.

The pocket watch is in his pocket. The medallion that you see is part of the ‘Albert’.

from https://www.timewornwatches.co.uk/guides/albert-watch-chains/

Although the watch chains had been worn since the 16th Century, the Albert watch chain was introduced much later. Albert watch chains are named after Prince Albert (1819-1861), who was consort to Queen Victoria (1837-1901). The chain would traditionally comprise of a T-bar on one end used to affix the chain to a vest buttonhole. The opposite end of the chain would be fitted with a swivel or a large spring-loaded bolt ring to attach a pocket watch. The watch would then be placed in a vest pocket with the chain exposed and often adorned with a decorative fob.

I was referring to the photo style, ie woman sitting with a book, man standing...

What about the cap/hat she's wearing? What would you call it? An indoor cap?

So I BELIEVED this to be my Great grandfather  George McQuire/MacQuire Born cir 1845 in High Halden, Kent and his mother, Caroline MacQuire, nee Sayer born Warehorn Kent, Cir 1819- Feb 3, 1885. She would have been a widow since 1866 and I thought her outfit appeared to be something a widow would wear.  I base this on the slimmest of evidence. Almost nothing. Who I acquired the photo from, the fact that the man has a very strong resemblance to a modern day relative. I also believe this other woman to be the man's wife (below) and her name was Susannah Henrietta McQuire, nee Weatherhead. Unless you think this could be the same woman but she looks very frail in the photo sitting down. If none of this works out, I'm at square one.
