Photo Identification of Couple

[fandes]

Hello Genedetectives!

It's another very tough one. A photo of Claire and her husband Mace or Mason - surname(s) unknown. We think they may have ended their days in New Zealand. We have absolutely no other information. Any assistance much appreciated.

Hi,

Any clues as to the photographer?

Writing on the back? If so, could you send us a picture of this......

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.  I don't have the photo myself but the person who does says there is nothing on the reverse.

Hello.

If you have no clues other than the image itself, perhaps you should be asking the photo dating specialists on their forum. Include the actual size of the image, and your description of how the photo is mounted. All can be clues for dating purposes. A presumed date can narrow down the search time frame.

PS If you do post on the photo dating thread I suggest you link the threads, or ask for Moderator assistance. The dating one could be locked when a date for searching has been established.

This is an Edwardian photo and the lady looks to be wearing a wedding ring, the book indicates literacy.

Can you tell us why you think they may have ended up in NZ...presumably a family story. Often if you recount these stories you/we may get some clues. 

How do you know the names are Claire/Clare and Mace/Mason?

[shanreagh]

It looks as if it is in one of those cardboard mounts/mat boards or frame itself. Has the owner taken it out of the frame...I feel sure that there will be a photgrapher's name somewhere.

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your replies. I have emailed several questions to the holder of the photo and, so far,  only received a photo of the reverse.

I am having trouble opening this. Is it possible to save it in a jpeg format please?
