I would guess 6-7 years old. I'm not positive on a date, sorry.
It's so sad when you don't know who they are. I hope you find her  :)

Thanks for your input a-l.  It's good to get a consensus.   We think we know which family she is from, I just need to try and find a match now with dates and age.

I would think the date is c1900-1905.

Thanks Jebber, that would be my pick too based on other photos I have around that era, but it's always good to get confirmation.

My Jayne Shrimpton book has a similar photo dated 1900-1906 - as Jebber's dates.

Well hello stranger!  :)  How have you been?  Must be years since we last "spoke"!  Hope you are doing well.

The more confirmation of the dates the better, so thanks for taking the time to respond!  :)

Hi Caz,

I thought about 7 years old too, before I saw the other opinions. Not sure about the date though.
Lovely photo of a pretty little girl, good luck finding her.

If you ever change your avatar I will cry.  Never fails to make me smile, plus I know it's my ole WAI buddy!  ;D  Speaking of which, I had some put aside to post, went on holidays and now I can't find them.  ???  I'll keep looking though, I must have bunched them up with ones we've done.  ::)

Thanks for another confirmation of the age. Madly scouring the tree, but nothing so far.

Hi Cazza,  ;D

I couldn't resist this little sweetie either,

Yvonne

I had a feeling you'd like this one too, she's a cracker isn't she, and so is the job you've done!   8) Many thanks Yvonne.  Feel free to do any pics I post, I've got so much on the go all help gratefully received!   :)

Can't really help with the dating except to add that apparently Vert and Co started operating in 1896.

I think she looks about 6-7 too, gorgeous girl and photo.

Thank you also Maddy for your input.  That makes it unanimous!   Now if only a 6-7 year old girl born after the turn of the century would conveniently jump out of my tree for me, that would be amazing!  ;D

Caz, I intend to keep good old "Del Boy" as my avatar, if I ever change my mind I will give you plenty of warning and send you a big box of tissues  ;D.

Looking forward to another batch of WAI's, I'm sure lots of others are too.

As the photographer is in Dudley, does this narrow your search down at all (Dudley is just up the road from me).

lovely picture tho i would have put her at 9 or 10
i'm quite good at guessing ages of modern children but bonnets confuse me too .
could it be dressing for a confirmation or a bridesmaid ?
