Ahhhh. Jewellery didn't do it, but the dress did. I have another photo of a similar looking woman but the collar/neck is quite different as is the setting, but pleating and cuffs are identical. If this photo is 1880 or so it matches quite well with a pair of photos of a couple have who were married in Leicester (in 1875) but photographed in Melbourne dated as late 1870's or so on basis of the address of the photographer. She had a wedding ring on. This makes her Mrs Yates and not Miss Yates at the time! Assuming 1880, she would have been 24 years old.
So Sue, thanks so much for prompting my closer inspection of detail.
