Yes, 1860s. If you do have the original, could you please scan it again, at 300-600 dpi, and post it? You will have to change the file name slightly...adding a letter or number will do.

Unfortunately I don't have the original, but will try and repost at a higher dpi.

The lady in question was born 1801 and died 1884, so I think the date would fit.

Hi Linda...if you don't have the original you really can't rescan it at a higher dpi, I think...it's still very blocky and indistinct :-\

But the dress, the photographer's props and the general setting all say mid 1860s.

Sorry to upset the apple cart, but that doesn't look like a lady in her early sixties.
Unless she has been very ill.
Leonie.
Added; I'm not disagreeing with China, the dress actually looks late fifties, but the lady looks older than someone born in 1801.
Direct matriarchal line; ENNIS-Yeatman-Cooper-Papps-Ryland-Lechford/Luxford-Bagshaw-Henriett

JONES-Walton-Grayson-Stobbs-Baldwin-Ibbotson-Scott.
JONES-Goodwin-Parker-Instant-Hubbard-Hancock-Skinner.

STILL LOOKING FOR: Elizabeth Ann Balfour ENNIS nee DAVIS. Disappeared in Adelaide, South Australia. 1881.

I have to agree she does look very old, but perhaps being an ag labs wife she'd led a very hard life ;D
