Hi Paulene

She was born in Somerset UK and I don't think she left, probably a farming/Garden community in North Newton or North Petherton
Hope this helps

I was having trouble viewing it for dating, so I've put up a smaller one for people to see more easily.

It's a tricky one as the shawl covers any clothing. Maybe 1890s. Does it have anything on the back to indicate a photographer?

Gadget,
That's much easier - thank you

Not an easy one to date, is it? Huh

Dick,
I'm having problems finding her, I'm afraid.
Not only her death, but I can't find her on the 1901 census - might be me, though - it's late! Grin

Was hoping to check her surname spelling - can you help, please ?
Do you know a reference for her on the census?

Quite agree - bet she was a lovely granny - gentle, kindly face, hasn't she? Reminds me a little of my own grandmother in France.

Hi Dick and Gadget,
Can't find a death on freebmd for Charlotte Duddridge (even tried Atwell) - not showing anything up to 1920 - but I expect you've tried that.
Found that Montague Cooper was listed as a photographer, working in the HIgh Street at Chard, in Kelly's 1914, and 1919 directories - but strangley nothing coming up for him earlier Huh

Hi Paulene

We checked all the easy on line stuff for her death although I admit as to not working to hard, Gadget has found a postcard from 1908 (Thanks Gadget) therefore as of now it would put the date between 1908 to 1919, her age would be 83 years to 94, both quite plausible, will keep looking

Thanks very much guys

Dick

Dick,
Just a thought - have you thought about ringing the nearest local studies library to where she lived. Sometimes they have a names index, where names of local people have been picked out of the old newspapers for obituaries, etc.
Worth a try, and you should be able to do it by telephone, or letter.
Take care of yourself.
