Thank you for all the replies, I wasn’t expecting such differences of opinion and am not really sure where to go with this from here! Maybe I’ll try a new post and see if anyone thinks my two potential Constances could be the same person... thanks again :)

Thank you Wayne, did you pick up this photo from my Ancestry profile or somewhere else? Interested to know if anyone else has it (I have three or four originals of it, I guess Fred really liked that photo!). I also have an iris studios photo of their daughter Ethel that appears to have been taken on the same day, looks like they may have had an outing to the photographer on a visit to see her in London. Maybe Constance was photographed too and someone else somewhere has the original... I’m so confused!

This photo of Constance's husband Frederick-Ernest-Baggaley was taken at Iris-Studios 169 Oxford St West London. 

Could it be from the same studio with light background and faded photo base?

If so it'll give the period of your photo.

Note: I've enlarged the original company logo and added another which is more legible.

Thank you all so much for your replies. 1930s or 40s would make it someone else, which I had hoped would be the case, but now to try and work out who! Also, if it is an original taken at the studio in Leigh-on-Sea as per the card it is in, I guess some more digging into when that studio was active would help - wish me luck  :)

Hello, new here and would really appreciate some help dating the attached photograph. I’ve been told it’s my g g grandmother Constance Josephine Baggaley (nee Underwood, 1863-1936, lived in and around Manchester, UK, all her life). But I have photos of another lady who I think is more likely to be Constance because of the other people that appear in photographs with her. I’d love any opinions on a likely decade and how old this lady looks. The physical photograph is on glossy paper measuring 8x6 inches in a Star Photography, Leigh-on-Sea card folder, but I think this might be a red herring and it may be a copy taken from an earlier photograph? As members of the family didn’t move to Leigh-on-Sea until around the 1940s and I’m sure the photo was taken earlier than that (if it IS Constance it must have been taken earlier as she died in 1936). I haven’t been able to find dates for the studio. Thanks in advance
