Help with date needed

[Cas (stallc)]

Hi all,

Could anyone help with the approx date of when this photograph was taken?

The elder lady in the pic Florence Gibbons was age 22 in 1901 with no occ. so think it is post then.

Any help or input appreciated

Hi Cas

I don't think she was all that elderly  I'd say maybe early 30s and the date looks roughly 1912-1920- most likely the earlier years.

What a fabulous pic Cas...I would agree with Gadget that his lady is not very old...I would say the pic was about 1908-1915...I love it..how lucky you are to have it

Hi Both,

Did not mean that Flo/Florrie was elderly, but older than the other female, which maybe her younger sister Gertrude born 1902? or perhaps just a helper in the shop? 

There is a message on the back she sent to another sister, Elsie, asking about an aunt / uncle so trying to pin down which uncle (with dates) to fit.  Thanks both I think the timeframe you have is about right

Hi John,

Please could you repost to a new thread... it might get overlooked if you add it to someone else's thread that has been sorted.
