That pleases me greatly lol. Boer War fits too. Thank you.

Sorry to disappoint you but I agree with Jim,WW1 or a bit later.

Darn it, but thanks 

Can anyone hazard a guess at the age of the woman in the family photo?

[John-76]

My guess is 25 - 28, but my wife thinks maybe a year or two older.  I’m trying to factor in the era, her appearance and the ages of the kids, assuming the kids are hers.

[Parmesan]

Thanks. I'm hopeless at assessing ages!

[Treetotal]

Early 30s maybe.

Agree with Carol, at least 30 and  maybe even up to mid- 30s.

As a comparison, my avatar shows my grandmother circa 1915. She was born 1878.

Great thanks all. That would fit better with the person I WANT it to be

So frustrating when you acquire quite a few photographs but have no clue who they are.

I'm wondering whether this could be the soldier's Family...she appears to be wearing a brooch and what could be a "Sweetheart Brooch" below it as Jim has mentioned. If you have the original and could scan it at a resolution of 1200dpi or ask the owner to, we could maybe identify it.
