for dating please - Another couple of school photos -
« on: Tuesday 31 March 15 09:28 BST (UK) »
I think these are likely to be early 20th Century - but I am often wrong . . . . . I can't recognise anyone in the photo.

Seem to be mainly girls - possibly a boy or two??

1910ish, maybe a couple of years earlier is my guess.

Thanks George.

If one of my MiL's family is in this lot then it would be a little later - she was born in 1908 - but then I don't know if she was -  in the photo I mean.   She was the eldest in her family.

Could be some of her Uncles and Aunts I think - they were born during the mid 1890s.  They would fit your time frame, wouldn't they.

As they aren't my family I really don't know.

I'd say all girls ... and will agree with early 20th century, bit of scope there  :)

yes - it would seem silly to have only one boy in a class wouldn't it.  And I can only see one possible boy in each photo - so girls with short hair then.     ;)

Thanks Mare.

If it's a borderless postcard which it looks like would make it most probably pre war but not by much in that blouse.1912 & possibly into WW1.

Thanks Jim - that puts them in the time frame I was hoping for, to be MiL etc!    ;)

I did a silly thing and cropped off what very little I could see of the surrounds - forgetting how you needed everything for dating -  my son took photos (with his phone) of the photos in an album - I think any backing I could see was album, so yes probably borderless.
