Hoping Someone Can Date This Photo from Shrewsbury

[prophetess]

Passed to me long ago from my cousin in New Zealand, we don't know who she is but given the connection to this area is through my cousin's paternal grandmother who had family in Shrewsbury
I an thinking that she May have be connected to that line, I have looked to see if I could find anything on this photographer to get an idea of time period but have not found anything on the photographer

1870's & possibly into the 80's so someone born around the turn of the century.

The date suggested by jim1 corresponds with the time that John C Williames lived and worked in Princess Street, St Chad, Shrewsbury.

In the 1881 England Census John C Williames was described as a Landscape Figure Painter. In the 1891 return he was still at Princess Street and described as Photographer. By 1901 he had married and moved to Maghull, Lancashire where he was described as Portrait Painter and Photographer.
