A Few Photos in Need of Dating
« on: Monday 08 December 14 15:44 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,

I have a few photos I've scanned that belonged to my great grandmother and her sister, we can't work out who they could be of in the family. No dates/names written on the back, unfortunately, and her sister doesn't recognise any of them.

Any help dating them would be brilliant, thanks!

They're all on my Google Drive - so hopefully they can be seen...

Yeah, I love how the second pair of photos are separate - judging by their facial expressions it seems to be a statement on their marriage  ;D

I thought they were quite strange photos myself, they look like passport photos?

just pulled up both photos together and they certainly do seem to be the same people! 

They do look rather severe later in life don't they!   ;)

I gave one of your photos a clean up...hope you don't mind...I did it more for my own amusement really so you don't have to have it if you don't want.
