Climer-Snow image from 1858- need confirmed
« on: Saturday 17 August 19 15:35 BST (UK) »
I have been informed this image is from 1858 - I disagree for several reasons and would like someone to give an estimate of the actual date - big clue as to error is wristwatch on woman.

You are right to discount that date. Nothing about it fits in with 1858. I would guess 1930s.

Thank you Primrose11 -  no he is not a bit happy looking, but then in most of the old photos they never are, are they?

 Wrist watches became popular amongst the Officers in the WW1.   

    But.........

        " The first wristwatch was made for Countess Koscowicz of Hungary by the Swiss watch manufacturer Patek Philippe in 1868, according to Guinness World Records. But the first wristwatch for men is not so easy to pinpoint. "

      " Even Elizabeth 1 had a wrist watch   according to Wikipedia ;D ;D ;D ;D

            Elizabeth I of England received a wristwatch from Robert Dudley in 1571, described as an arm watch. By the mid nineteenth century, most watchmakers produced a range of wristwatches, often marketed as bracelets, for women. "

1920s-30s.

Never is it 1858 -she would have been in a crinoline and her hair would be long and worn up and her ears would be covered.

see for example https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRZfThIcabpEFFCBlBP2_F66r1g43fxY3gezbdcURMAEnm8A5-klA

I can't be sure, Jennifer, but I would have thought the names that the OP has would be for someone alive circa 1858, and that's  about 65 years too early.

Find a grave has her born 1869 and dying 1939

The photo doesn't appear to fit with the dates, she looks too young.

could she be in her early 50s  :-\

Re ages, I think the woman is in her early twenties, and the man could be later twenties or older.

Granma Anne, your 'avatar' is quite worrying!  I have a small money spider building its web on the wall just above my computer screen (not a great site in my view, but I'm not interfering), and I thought for one moment that he/she had a competitor on my screen.
