Hannah and Fanny Lovesey photo for dating please? isle of wight
« on: Wednesday 16 January 19 19:33 GMT (UK) »
This photo was taken in Newport, Isle of Wight and is mounted with no border on thick white card (there is nothing printed on the back).

I believe the 2 ladies are my gt grandfather's older sisters, Hannah and Fanny Lovesey from Cropthorne  / Charlton in Worcestershire.   

I know that Hannah who was born in 1863 was in Service in Sandown, IoW at the 1891 census; Fanny was born in 1872.  I believe the ages look about right for them if the photo was taken around 1891; I just wasn't sure whether their attire fitted that period.

The other alternative is that it is my gt grandfather's aunt Frances (Fanny) Stephens who in 1866 married Frank Woodford in the IoW and after his demise married Obed Jackman in 1878, also in the IoW.  Frances was born in 1837 in Ashton under Hill, Gloucs and died in the IoW in 1911...  she had several older sisters and one younger sister.  I am unable to find Frances at the 1861 census (but I'm trying various permutations); might this be her?

Many thanks in anticipation of any help received.

Is that a late bustle style then Jim?

Yes, small detachable style typical of the 80's.

Many thanks all for your input...

Is it possible that the ladies could have worn clothing that was a few years out of fashion?

I think these ladies would have a fit of the vapours at that suggestion.

The lady on the right as you look at the photo appears to be hiding her left hand and from what I have read suggests an unmarried lady if that is any help.
