help with the date please
« on: Sunday 22 June 08 22:24 BST (UK) »
hi

am hoping that someone could give an approximate date that this picture is..was sent to me for one of the relatives ..but i have the children as the girl being the eldest born in 1905 and the boy being born in 1908.  Am thinking that maybe a wrong part of the family but the mum is the right person  Huh

hope that someone can shed a bit of light on
thank you

Hi kazdel...well, looking at the neckline of the woman's dress, I'd put the photo around 1913-1915 or thereabouts, so the ages of the children look about right to me...

Cheers,
China

Thanks Prue and China for the dating of the picture looking at it again now the little boy does look about 7 and the girl about 10 years.  At the first look thought that the age gap might have been bigger.


Thanks Saddles for the colour version it is amazing Smiley and Woodentop for cleaning. What a lovely diffence it makes Smiley

Thanks all
