Dating this photo?
« on: Friday 04 February 11 13:15 GMT (UK) »
I have these photos and  am trying to piece together who these people are exactly, this is in itself proving quite hard.
Can anyone tell roughly the date of these photos, not so much the first lady by herself but the one with the lady and child and child by herself.
Any help would be really appreciated.

That's a strange one Nicky.The child's clothing looks fairly modern but the lady dressed in an Edwardian style.Just my opinion and probably completely wrong ;D

If this photo is who they say they are then the child was 19 in 1924 making her born 1905 and therefore this would be 1915??? The child looks maybe 10?

I am baffled like you have said the two lots of clothes dont seem to go!

The girl could have been wearing a hand-me-down  jumper.   Was there a shortage of clothing during WW1?

Hi Nicky,just said they looked more modern,that's not to say they are,I'm no clothing expert.But by the woman's clothes I reckon your 1915 could be about right,possibly a couple of years earlier.Where's Jim or China when you need them.
