Hi Meme21
I have sent you a PM regarding Joan Collis and family.
Scobie

Thank you to both Treetotal and jim1 for your replies. I did think when viewing it that the blurry photograph had an Edwardian "feel" to it, but it is good to have confirmation. As for the group photograph, I am much happier with your dating of early to mid 1890s than the 1880-84 date originally suggested to me.
Again, many thanks.

Greetings, Rootschatters.
I have here two school photographs to which I am looking to assign some sort of dates.
The first is a standard school group with the name of a photographer, C. Harris of Dover. It is obviously an old photograph, certainly pre-1900, and it has been suggested that this is from 1880-84, but I would prefer some confirmation that this may be true (or otherwise).
The second is, I am afraid, a very poor and blurry photograph of children outside a school, one of those instances where it is what it is, and better, perhaps, to have a poor picture than none at all. However, despite its drawbacks, I am hoping that there is enough definition to the clothing to get some form of date
Thank you for any help on this,
Scobie

Sorry, ignore that last post. It should have gone elsewhere.

Hello again Rootschatters.
Here is a section from another old photograph which I am trying to date. Sometime about the beginning of the 20th century, but I hope that perhaps one of you can pin it down a bit tighter than that. Many thanks,
from Scobie
