Hi ,I  have just been sent this photo which has “ Spanish lady “ written on back but in fact I think it might be my great great great grandmother Lavinia Frederica De Irujo . Born and lived in England but of Spanish descent . The person who sent it to me is a new contact from my family but does not know who this photo is .. other than “Spanish lady “ . My gt gt gt grandmother Lavinia was alive 1817 until 1895 . I don’t know how to age the clothes . They certainly did not have a lot of money and she was a laundress into her old age . Quite the fall from her grandfather the Spanish Marquis Martinez de Irujo , Any help most welcome . Thanks Fred .

There is a very similar photo in one of my reference books. It is dated early - mid-1870s.  The dress and headware are almost identical.

If possible can you  scan the whole of the photo, including the edges and the back, for verification.

It would be good if you could get it re-done as there is a similar dress style later.

I would say 1870s too but as she is an older lady it could be into the 80s. As Gadget says, we need to see all of the photo including the back.
