Date for young girl in Horace Dudley photograph

[sandrastocks54]

Hi

Please could anybody give me an approximate date for the photograph of a young girl taken by Horace Dudley?

I've been playing around with the Familysearch compare-a-face software and uploaded this photo to see if it matched me, and was surprised to find it was a 51% match to a current photo of me!  I compared it to a photo of me aged 2 and she was a 70% match.

I wondered if it could be a photo of my great grandmother as a child, so also did a comparison between this photo and a later one of my g grandmother and they were also a 51% match.

I'm not sure how accurate the software is, but I'd love to have a date for this photo to see if it's possible that it is my g grandmother.

thanks in advance for any help.

Best info I get from the research on the photographer would be as follows:

Dudley, Horace H – Dudley, Staffs – 1901-1908-   -1911-West Bromwich

So anywhere between 1901 & 1911.

Here's a quick clean up of the photo. Hope you enjoy!

Yes Edwardian but couldn't tweak it as this was pretty much the style for little girls.

Thank you both for your replies.  And thanks Dr Dude for the clean up  - she looks a lot better now.

It's definitely not my g grandmother, but I have a feeling she may be her niece as the dates would fit.  I've also compared some other unknown photos to this one and have some quite good results so I may be able to identify more of the family.

Many thanks for your help!

Always happy to help. While not great for Mr. Dudley's business of the day, at least he operated in such a narrow window of time that it was easy to home in on a date.
