She is shown as being a Spinster at her wedding in 1865. She was 30 but her husband was only 20. Were they still taking this type of photograph in 1865, were they behind the times in deepest Gloucestershire. Interesting how the dead talk to us, possibly in riddles but they are still trying to tell their story.

What would it look like if someone printed it in a darkroom?

I've managed to lighten it a bit, hope this is better for you, I've reversed it too.

That is magnificent. Thank you.

I think that I can see a wedding ring so it is 1865.

Could this be as late as 1865 you ask.
Her dress style wouldn't be particularly out of place in 1865 although fashion had moved on a little from this outfit.
Her hairstyle again is a bit old fashioned as most younger women were now wearing their hair differently.
Ambrotypes were superseded by albumin prints in 1858, commonly called CdeV's but there was an overlap in medium & you can still see ambrotypes from the early 1860's.
I can't recall seeing one as late as 1865.
My view is that it's earlier than that.
