Couple for Dating Please
« on: Monday 16 January 12 15:10 GMT (UK) »
More Drury Family photos for Paul....Please could you give us an idea of a date for this man & woman who I think could be husband & wife and appear to have been taken on the same day....The backs are plain with no info.
Thanks for looking.

That man's almost smiling! She ain't, though :)

Man's long collar with the rounded points (round points!!! ;D) started just after 1900 and the lady's pompadour hairstyle just a little before that. Both were replaced with different styles just before the war. But as we can't see much else, stylewise, I can't give you much of a narrower window. Call it around 1907, give or take 5 years? Not very good I'm afraid, Carol :(

Do we know where Williams & Williams were located?

Cheers,

Ah, Williams & Williams...Swansea, Bristol, Shrewsbury, Bath, Newport. The only other photo I could find from them also shows a vignette from about the same time period. Also a man, so no further clues :P

Hi China...They were based in Shrewsbury where this family originated from...but also at various other locations.
"Round Points"...aren't they French roundabouts  ;D ;D ;D
Thanks for that...it really helps.
What would we do without you and Jim  ;)

Found a few more but only one with the same cardstock, and nothing dateable in it.

But have a look at this...did the lady have a brother? Similar face!

Oo...they are aren't they...food for thought!

I might have to look on the 1911 census for Drury males still living in Shropshire...what age would you put them at China...Mid-late  20s?

Suppose so...I'm not much good at that. No more than 30 I'd say :P
