Help dating photograph - unknown from Lancashire
« on: Friday 11 October 19 22:44 BST (UK) »
Sorry if this double posts but I didn't meet the 500 kb file limit on my previous posting attempt. Hopefully moderators will know what I'm trying to do  :)

Not sure who this family is other than that they are ancestors of mine somehow. It's from a postcard style photo design - can't remember offhand what the studio is but it will be from Lancashire as that's where all my ancestral family were from.

I have quite a few old photos I'd like help dating (and also if anyone can help me figure out if some people I have photos of are the same or if I've got a bad case of facial blindness, haha) - would I be best starting one megathread or just posting separately each time?

Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat...This a lovely photo from the Edwardian era. It would be best to start a new post for every photo, add two on the same post if you need to compare the subjects. Do let us know if you would like your photos repairing.
Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks Carol! I've been doing most of my own photo restorations as I'm quite good with Photoshop, but there is one damaged photo in my collection a little beyond my ability to repair (mould damage over faces) so I'll try my luck on here with any skilled photo people. Will post later.

Also thanks to both responders so far regarding the Edwardian (mid to late possibly) dating. Helps narrow it down to possible matches on my tree.
