Henderson girls - approx date please?

[Tickettyboo]

apologies in advance, this is a tiny scan, but its all I have.

The info I got with it is as follows if it helps:

Top - Elizabeth Henderson (born Dec 1885)

Middle - Rebecca Henderson (born 19 May 1869) and
Margaret Ann Henderson (born 6 September 1870)

Bottom - Jessie Ann Henderson (born 25 Feb 1876)

If anyone is able to give me an approximate date based on the clothing, hair etc. I 'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

I've got a photo of my gran (born 1877) wearing very similar clothing, but she still has her hair down so it must have been taken around 1893.  However, in your photo even the youngest born 1885 has her hair up, so it has to be after 1901 - at least it was my understanding that girls put their hair up at 16, I could have been told this wrongly, of course.

Thanks LizzieW
I had forgotten about the 'hair up' thing :-)

Thanks Treetotal,  so 1901 - 1910 which would co-incide with an older brother emigrating - hmm!

I would say late decade rather than early. Perhaps they had it taken to give to him before he left.
