Hello there
This is my first post on here, so hope I get it right
. I have 2 photographs I am very curious about and have recently been sent. Photo 1, the couple wearing the flowers, I was originally told were my grandparents, Christopher and Emily (Booth) Gallagher, both born 1900. The 2nd photo I was told was potentially Christopher's parents, Patrick (born approx 1856) and Mary (born approx 1870) (Wignall) Gallagher. However, the dates don't seem to add up and it looks like it might be the other way round. I have found out that the photo of the younger couple, both sat on the garden chair, was taken at Charles Howell photography studio in Blackpool (which did not open until 1913) and somebody has dated the photograph by clothing to be around the 1920's.
Also, the other photograph of the couple wearing flowers, the man looks as though he may have a military lapel badge / in (it looks like an aeroplane, but the photo is not good quality, so I can't tell). Does anybody have any idea of the name of the badge / pin. Do the couple look like a man and his wife 14 years his junior, or a man and his daughter?
Could the women be the same in each photo? Also, the photograph taken in the studio, would you agree that the woman looks as though she may be pregnant?
So many questions
I would be so grateful for any help with regard to restoration and / or dating.
Thank you in advance
Carol
