Looking to date photo to prove Nixon Watson gt gt grandparents - Durham, England
« on: Monday 13 August 18 03:24 BST (UK) »
Hi Folks

I have had a copy of this photo for a while and think I have now figured out who it is. I just need a rough date to confirm. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Brian

Hi Brian...I would say this is mid-late 1890s.

Agree with Carol. There's a ref to Venice Dunn Studio in Consett 1891-1914 in an online tree.

Agree with Carol. The puffball type sleeve was popular for just a couple of years from around 1896-8.

Thanks Guys

If they are the people I think they are, they would be my 3 x Gt Grandparents James & Caroline Wharton (nee Watson). Not overly positive though as James was born 1849 and Caroline 1852. Even taking into consideration that my area was a little out of fashion and pushing the dates closer to 1900 I am still not sure. Your thoughts on age etc. would be appreciated.

Regards
Brian

My thinking to Jim. So would either mean they are really unfashionable, or more likely only have 1 good outfit that had to last. Or its not them.
