Please help to date an old photo from Southwark, London. Sullivan or Westrop
« on: Wednesday 12 July 23 09:54 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone,

I have a photograph of a little girl who is I believe is either my nan, or my great-grandmother. Neither of whom are living today.

The photograph was most likely taken in Southeast London where they were both born, probably in Southwark.

Looking at the photograph, could anyone tell me whether they think it is:

Victoria Julia Westrop (Nee Sullivan) 1897-1973 (She was also known as Jubilee Victoria as a child).

OR

Adelaide Mary Claydon (nee Westrop) 1919-2007.

Please advise how you have come to your decision. Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

Kind regards,

Brian

I think it is Adelaide by her clothing, if it was Victoria I would expect her coat to be down to her feet.
Also the style and pose of the photo would have been more formal in 1900..

Thank you Carol. I appreciate your opinion based on her clothing and a more informal pose.

Adelaide.

Hi Keybob. Thank you for your appraisal, and thank you so much for cleaning up the image. That's two for Adelaide. Are there any dissenters or any more votes for Addie?

Hello Brian, I just put Adelaide going on what Carol had noted, as I am no expert on dating pictures. :)

Hi Jim1,

I'm afraid I don't have the photo, it is still in my fathers possession. However I can affirm that what is presented is the entirety of the photograph.

Thank you for your appraisal based on what is presented.
