Anyone have an idea on the date of these?

[Margaret in Burton]

I know what family they are and they were taken in Burton on Trent, but nothing else.

Have you looked for the photographers ... H. H. Dudley and G. Renwick on the censuses ?

[Rachel Scand]

Oooooo look here's George Renwick .... haven't read any of it yet .... but this came up when I googled

Derbyshire Photographers Profiles : George Renwick of Burton-on-Trent

oh well he operated a photographers studio from 1876 - 1916 ... not much help then ....

[Margaret in Burton]

Hi Rachel

Yes they were both long established photographers in Burton.

first one early 1900,s 2nd one1890/5

I'm hoping they were a little earlier than that Bren. I have a thought who they were but those dates would get me nowhere

[Rachel Scand]

You really need Don or Barbara ....
Barbara's light is out at the moment ....
so in the meantime, have you looked here ....


Date an Old Photograph

[Just Barbara]

Hi, your lady and her children appear to date from the early 20th century, the general style of the photo as well as things like her hair do' and the little boys wooly suit put it about 1905 I think if Don sees it he is the best as he knows the most...:D. Your gentleman appears to be wearing a suit that was meant to just fasten at the top button, I think that makes him late 1870s but I'm going for another look...

[Just Barbara]

yes, I think his sack suit dates from the late 1870s.

[Margaret in Burton]

yes, I think his sack suit dates from the late 1870s.

Thanks Barbara

The person who I think it is moved to Burton in 1875 and worked as a clerk on the railway

I think this is the same person



I shall have to look again at the other one.

[Margaret in Burton]

what do you reckon to this being the same lady as the one with the children?

[Rachel Scand]

Reversed and straightened a bit .........
she looks very similar

[Margaret in Burton]

Oooh Rachel

How do you do that? I'm useless with photo imaging.

[Olde Crone Holden]

What a, erm, sensual photo that is...her skirt has been tucked underneath her and the outline of her legs is clearly visible - wonder whose idea THAT was, lol!

Very unlike anything I have seen from a similar era - doesn't look as if she is wearing any PETTICOATS!

(Sorry, not helpful I know)

OC

[Margaret in Burton]

I think perhaps these two are the same man

Goodness ! all I noticed was that she doesn't appear to be wearing corsets

Margaret .... what's this ? is it for wiping feet on ?

The man in the 2 pics (post 15) do look very similar ...
far more handsome with the moustache

[Rachel Scand]

a quick crop and reverse ... for comparison

[brenmac]

margaret i dont think they are as one has side parting and the other center parting and it would be hard to change hairstyle parting,noses completely differnt as one is very pointed
the 2 ladies one has a pointier chin so i dont think they are the same brenda xxx

[Margaret in Burton]

After a discussion with the guy who sent me the photos he has sent another of a little girl.
We think it could be the same girl as in the photo with mum and brother which would make it a different person to who I thought it was. But we think we know who the little girl is in the photo on her own so could then identify mum and brother.

This is her, what do you think?



the same family. The little girl above would be the one on the right of this one. The boy in the one with mum would then be the boy at the back of this one.

Don't know LOL

It was her wedding day, couldn't have mucky feet could she.
