Date of photo and age of unidentifed lady with baby?
« on: Wednesday 02 August 23 19:59 BST (UK) »
Only date and age wanted, please, to help me work out who this might be.

I have tentatively dated this as ca 1910-11. Does that seem about right?

Also, what age do you think the lady is?
GRAY - Inveresk; Lanarkshire
LINDSAY - Lanarkshire
PURDIE - Lanarkshire; W. Lothian
POZZI - Elgin; Lancashire
MACKENZIE, MORISON - Stornoway
ARCHIBALD, HAY, HUNTER, SNADDON - Clackmannanshire
COXON, HALL, JACKSON, SHOTTON - Northumberland

1910 looks a bit late.
These hats were popular from the early 1900's up to
around 1908.
She looks mid - late 20's.
If you have this can we see the back?

Unfortunately no stamp box however it's not an early postcard
back so I would suggest 1905-08.

I would guess at mid-late 20s too. Great image.

Thank you, jim1, Millipede & Treetotal,

Would you say the lady has a facial resemblance to my great grandmother in this next photo? She was born 1854, and had a younger sister born 1870 (admittedly older than your assessment of this lady's age) who had 3 children (a boy and 2 girls) bet. 1903-1907.

I may well be wrong again, but I think this photo would have been taken about 1910 when she was was widowed. If so, she looks relatively youthful for a person her age who had borne many sorrows over the years, making me think her sister might also have looked younger than she was.

G grandmother, the unknown lady and my grandmother, all seem to me to have had similar-shaped hands, and where they can be seen in photos, sturdy wrists, making me feel the unknown is related somehow.

The earliest known record of Fairbairn & Phimister at the Glasgow address is 1906 and the latest 1914 ( but possibly a bit later); see -

Based on the information provided i would say that its a strong possibility that the first image could be your G Grandmothers sister who also in my opinion has facial similarities.
