Dating please Bell family lived in Alnwick Northumberland
« on: Thursday 28 July 22 21:34 BST (UK) »
Hello
This is a photograph of a photograph. The Bell family lived in Alnwick Northumberland between 1800 and 1900. Could anyone give me a guide date of the photo that would enable me to establish which generation of Bells these are.
Thank you

Classic Edwardian  :)

I see that there are a few marks on it.  Would you like it repaired?

I realize no restoration was requested, but I couldn't resist. Very nice family photo.

Thank you very much Jim 1, Gadget and John-76 for the quick reply and restoration work.

I was hoping this would date to around 1882/3, as I was convinced this was my 3x Gt Grandad. However he died at the date above age 64. This is the reality of family research I guess.
Anyway, it is a related family so I will label the image accordingly and note your comments. I have an album full of such images passed down from my Gt grandad, but sadly absolutely no information attached to any of them.
Thank you all once again.
