It's been suggested the lady sitting on the right in this photograph is my gg grandmother born in Ireland c.1839 and died sometime after 1911. The other two females are daughters born either 1862/75/82 and a son born 1871/73/75/76/80/84. The lady is dressed in black which suggests to me she is in mourning. Her husband died in 1896. He was a head constable and later land agent for Lord Tottenham in Ireland. My query is does the fashion match the time and place.

Edwardian 1905-10.
The woman bottom right could be wearing any darkish colour.

I agree with Jim on both counts.

She doesnt look anywhere between 66 and 71 to me given the photo dated 1905-1910.
Looks like 30/40 ish to me.
Maybe one of the other siblings?

Thanks Jim and Carol for dating the photo. Would it be considered poor etiquette for an Edwardian lady to be photographed without a hat ? Trish, I wondered the same.The different style of dress between the two ladies in hats and the lady in black/dark clothing made me think she was of a different generation or in mourning.

The ladies two in front are very alike and are both wearing wedding rings. Could the lady at the back be the Gent's wife?

On closer inspection the seated lady in black/dark clothing may have something on her head.
