I would suggest 1870's.
They look in their 50's.

If the 1911 Edith emigrating is her the other 1912 Sunday school Edith must be someone else.
Although she's not on the BHC website it may be she's gone via an assisted passage under the
umbrella of Barnardo's with them acting as chaperone.
Older minors who were unemployed &/or transient were encouraged to emigrate.

Which shipping entry were you looking at?It's from the Library of Canada website which has her down as Edith May which is probably an error
as the shipping list says Mary.
She departed from L'pool May 13 1911 on the Teutonic.

British Home Children Registry has an Edith Baker DOB 1900
sailing on The Sicilian 29/6/1911 from London to Quebec.
Sent by Barnardo's children's home.
From there she went to Hazelbrae, Peterborough Ontario a children's home
for girls run by Barnardo's.
No other information.
Probably not her as Suzy100 has a better match.

Looks a bit confusing & looks like there was an attachment to the
51st. Highland Div. as they didn't have any English Btn's. in their ranks.
112 Bde. 37th. Div. did have the 6th. Beds & 8th. E.Lancs Btn's. in theirs.
Both Divs. were in the same place at the same time & involved in the
same operations.

The problem is that these postcard style photos didn't have the photographers
logo on the back so there's no way of identifying who took them.
