Help dating this school photo please *completed*
« on: Thursday 19 August 10 11:13 BST (UK) »
Hi
Could someone please have a go at dating this school photo please. I'm trying to connect it to the right ancestor and a date would help. It's a school in rural Wiltshire, if that helps.

Many thanks
Kim

Thank you Leonie, that would narrow it down to 3 possible ancestors!

For my future reference, what was it that led you to that conclusion?

Thanks again

Hi Kim,
The high neckline, the sleeves (leg-o-mutton) and the length of the ladies dresses. The ladies at left both have hats from that era.
Maybe about 1896-7.
