Hi, I haven't sent this particular photo to anyone but did send a group one which may be of the Clark, Thorn or possibly Pimm family,its on tin plate so not very clear. Besides the picture of Ann and Herbert I also have another one of Ann on her own so it would be good to clarify if she is Ann  Thorn or Caple.

Perhaps if we tried to work out the date of the photo, which might have a better chance at guessing which Ann it is?

When did Ann Thorn pass away? Ann Clark (nee Capel) passed away in 1882, so if it is her it would be at the latest early 1880's.

To be honest from looking at the clothes, hairstyles etc, I would have said the picture was more like turn of the century 1900 or later.

What do you guys think?

Ann Thorn would only be 30 or so by then...but the lady looks more like she is 70 or so........

Ann Gowan nee Thorn was born 1843 and was 88 when she died in 1931, the man with her in the photograph was born in 1896, I would guess that the photo was taken in the 1920s. What do others think?

Sorry got confused with Clara Ann Thorn!!

I think 1920's is much more likely for that picture than 1880's.......I reckon it is Ann Thorn (nee Gowan) rather than Ann Clark (nee Capel)

Mystery solved  ;)

Thats good from my point of view but it would still be nice if we had a photograph of the other Ann.
