Thank you so much for this info. Could I now ask for an 1841 look up as well for the same family - looking particularly for Mary's husband.

Hi China
This isn't the original photo - it is a restored copy of the original done by a pro photographer, that's why it looks so good. The original is with my cousin and I have asked her to e-mail me a scan of the original - I can't remember if there was a mount or not. If it's date is around the early 1880's then it would have to be my grandfather's father's mother and not his grandmother. I'll post the original when I get it. In the meantime thanks for your help.
Regards Laine

Please can anyone help me by dating this photo from the wearer's dress. My only info I have is that the lady is my grandfather's father's grandmother, but this would mean around the late 1700's/early 1800's when I doubt photos were in existence.
