Photo to date please - 1800s - our great great great Shearing grandparents!
« on: Sunday 04 November 18 20:34 GMT (UK) »
I am told this photo is of a couple born in 1808 & 1811, Nathan & Sarah from Norfolk England.  I have portraits of their son and his wife who were born in 1837 & 1838, and I feel they look similar, so wonder if the photo is actually of them.  Is there any way to date this photo, or is there not a big enough time difference between the generations?  I can add the portraits of the son & wife if that helps.  Cheers  :)

1860's & probably early-mid decade by the way he's dressed & her hairstyle.
They look in their 20's to me so son & wife I would say.
When did they marry?

Thanks!  The son and wife were married in 1860.  Nathan and Sarah (who I'm told the photo is of) were married in 1833.

I agree with Jim, for it to be Nathan and Sarah, they would have to be in their 50s and as Jim says, they look to be in their 20s. Nice photo to have and to know who they are.

Thank you everyone!  Sadly no writing on the back of my copy.  I am trying to track down the original - such a shame we don't get interested in this stuff until the ones that might have known have all passed on... Cheers :)
