The cap she is wearing is very similar to this one from 1899 (from the link given by Gadget and JenB

Its interesting seeing all the comments.  I think it could be mother and son as they both have slightly hooded eyes.  It is dated around 1890s but photographers did give out clothes to wear so it doesnt automatically mean they were wealthy.  The other comments about the mans facial hair and rough hands means that maybe he could have been a farmer or other occupation in maybe a village setting so not exactly up to date in styles.

No they didn't.
The date isn't around the 1890's it's as Gadget said mid - late 1890's.

Sorry i didnt know you were admin for the post!!

How rude!

Jim, Carol and I have been dating photos on this board for many years.  All of us have spent much time learning aspects of fashion, etc. to fairly accurately date photos. We all have various books etc to back up our estimates.

I'm wondering why this thread has popped up again. All the information had already been discussed.

Hi,

I notice the man is not wearing a wedding ring suggesting he was not married and so, presumably, they were not husband and wife.

Yes because i said around 1890s and the i was told mid to late 1890s.  It doesnt really matter but I was only giving my opinion to the post not looking to be told off.
