Title: Help with a date please for lady, Photographer Charleton and Son Dublin
Post by: Sinann on Sunday 09 September 18 22:53 BST (UK)
Got another box of photos, great fun but most have no names.
This one however does have a name but I still haven't figured who she is, a date would help a lot with the search.
I tried to look up the photographer, I'm not the only one to have tried.
They were in business in 1880 and possible up to 1921. I think I've found the photographer in the 1911 Census Ernest aged 35, he may be the son as a Peter aged 66 is a photographer's assistant.
Any clues about her from the photo would be great.
Thank you

1890's & I would suggest the early part of the decade.

Good point thank you.
I've started with married Mary Bell's in the 1911census and got stuck on the third one as I can't find a marriage and they don't have children.
According to the back of the photo her maiden name is Rourke.
This could take a while. ;D
