Some years ago I was shown a handful of photos of my father-in-law's mother's family. No-one knew who the people were but I would like to hazard a guess at the dates and have some of them restored. I wasn't allowed to have the originals but managed to get some photos of the photos. So, here is the first ...........
Any clues on a date for this lady? I remember the original was mounted on stiff card which I think may have been a 'carte de visite' or 'cabinet card'. Can the white markings be removed please?
I'm now researching the Springall family and hoping that some clue on a date will help me identify this lady.

Edwardian & probably the 2nd. half.
-
Have no idea of the era, sorry. I just removed a few of the bad spots.

Thank you re the date and to all those who cleaned the photo up. Information and photo duly noted and archived.
I have a couple more if you can bear it!

Gillian - it's best to put each one up as a separate thread. It can get muddled otherwise. Look forward to seeing them :)

Anyone notice this at the bottom>

I will post the others as separate threads. I have to do a little digging on the next one before I post.
I've just found a photo of the reverse of this lady if it helps/interests.

It looks like she is wearing a Victorian double sided locket. I have one in rose gold, I may be wrong but it looks like it could be a photo of a baby, maybe for remembrance.

Well, I didn't spot the locket. The date and perhaps her having lost a child may help me identify her. Thank you.

I did one too. Think you missed it Gillian :)

I think I might be a year or two out according to this:

Lovely piece of work Gadget, I notice that you have straightened the image too 8)

Thanks, Carol. Wiggy and Tomkin will tell you that I'm fussy about straightening ;D ;D
(Tomkin's even more fussy than me!)
I had a go enlarging the oval but can't make out enough to identify.

Many thanks for all your efforts restoring, straightening and dating this photo. I have kept them all in a 'gallery' and will add the information gleaned to my family story.

Nit sure what you mean, Jim. Gillian has put up the back, which lists the outlets and, many posts ago, japeflakes put up a snip which had LONDON W on it.
