Possibly Jane Simpson born Staindrop, Durham, England 1845

Would the date this photo was taken fit in with that?

thanks, M

ps no restores required :)

We need to see the photo to be able to date the photo accurately.

Carol, the photo is there if you slide across.  A E Scales is shown in Hartlepool 1873 - 1890

Thank you for the date range, if it is who I suspect, she is in the US and married in September 1873. So possibly a photo taken before emigrating, if the fashion fits an early 1870s date?

Resized photo hopefully attached

Thanks for that Pat....I didn't see it. The image dates from the early 1870s I would say, the corners became rounded off in the early 1870s to allow the Carte de Visite to fit into album sleeves.

Thank you Carol and Pat, this had been grouped with some older photos, so it is great to be able to identify it  :)
