Dating photo, Milward Rowe Moore and wife Mary, Eastbourne Sussex

These are my 3x great grandparents. They were market gardeners and lived in Eastbourne after 1871 and died there in 1900 he was 84 and she was 82. My best guess is early 1880's.

Not a bad estimate. I think a bit earlier at late 1870's but it depends on how fashionable she was.

Jim

Being tenant farmers, I wouldn't think they would be on top of fashion. Their age if 1880 would be in early 60's

Thank you Jim for replying and confirming my rough estimate.

Carol, You are right not much smiling.

Just found the photo you posted of Milward Rowe Moore and his wife Mary. Milward is my 1st cousin 3 times removed and I've now attached the photo to my family tree - I trust that is O.K. with you.  I have some information on his grandson, Percy Milward Moore which I'm happy to share with you if you don't already have it.
