Help dating old school photo from Northumberland (no. 4)
« on: Sunday 02 June 19 10:02 BST (UK) »
Last one!

This picture is not great and is a photo of a photo, not sure where the original is but from the same family as the photos in my other posts https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=813751.0

It has "South Charlton 1890s" written in biro on the back and so could potentially show my Great Grandad Thomas Renner and his brothers David and Robert and sisters Isabella, Margaret and Ann who were all born between 1884 and 1886 who were living at South Charlton, near Alnwick from birth until 1911 where they moved to Chillingham, near Wooler.

My Great Great Grandad also had a brother living at South Charlton and he had 4 children the same age as my Great Grandad and his siblings so potentially upto 10 ancestors in this photo!

Thanks

The 1890s  is about right for this one late decade I would say. It's always a good idea to post the whole photo including the back where possible as it helps with dating.

Hi Carol, thank you, shame I can't name them!

I will go back and update my other posts with the reverse of the photos. Not much point with this one though, as its a picture I took on my phone of a picture which had also been photoed and then printed out on plain paper with the detail of " South Charlton 1890s" wrote on the back recently(ish!)

That would be good, it's often quite  helpful when dating.
I love your photos.

Hi Carol,

All done! Thank you, I have quite a few old family photos, but these ones stood out from the rest.

I have had a look Gaz but there is nothing date-able on any of them unfortunately, but thanks for taking the trouble.

Is the man the same one as on one of your other pictures or are they just generic Victorian/Edwardian men?
Do you know why some children were wearing a flower? Was it a wedding?
2 girls have their hands on shoulders of girl in front. A class photo of mine has this - girls weren't sisters.

We are talking historically here...this was a well documented fact in Victorian/Edwardian times...times change and so does habit...it was very different in the 1950s or there about.

 Was it a wedding?


We must assume that   it's an old school photo from Northumberland. 

The school teacher is probably the gentleman on the left. It looks as if the right side of the image has been cut off.
