Dating a Webster family photo
« on: Saturday 13 October 18 10:26 BST (UK) »
Hello
Am looking for help in dating this family picture. No dates or names were noted with this photo. Having traced my tree and specifically that of the my grandad's family (it was among his photos), I have a couple of possibilities but dating it would massively help in narrowing down this attempt at identification. I have also attached a snapshot of the reverse of the photo detailing the photographer who took the picture.
Any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I'm not much good at dating photos but this will move it up the board. My "guess" would be around 1890 - give or take a couple of years; but wait for the experts!

Not much help ... D Ross, photographer is advertising at Clerk St Brechin in 1877, though I can't see any advertisements for St Ninian Square, but I would think your photo is later than 1877.

Modified to add:
Found an advertisement for Donald Ross, photographer at St Ninian's Square in July 1881, and mentions of him in a rent dispute in Sept 1880

These photos are from 1910/11 and 1914 approx, similar clothing though less lace and pleats on mine indicate a poorer family than yours maybe.

My suggestion would 1880s and possibly into the 1890s.

Agree with Carol if she sticks with 1880's.

Thanks everyone for your replies. They have been very helpful and its almost certainly meant I can now identify the individuals in the photo. Thanks again.
