Please help me date this picture. Parker family, Chatham
« on: Friday 29 January 16 21:25 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

this photo is possibly of William and Louisa Parker and two of their children.

Can any one help date it?

Do you think the child on the mothers knee a boy or girl?

I would love to see improvements too.

Thanks
Ian.

I would guess at 1905-1910...hard to say which sex the baby is but I'm leaning towards a boy.

First instinct was to say a girl.

I think I'd push it out just a teensy bit to around 1912 maybe...see the high waist on the lady's skirt? Pre-war style. The long collar on the gent disappeared around the same time, and I'd say from the look on his face he would have been deeply thankful  ;D
