    I would have said between 20 and 25 taken at some point in the late 1920s or early 1930s.

    (I might be miles out though!)

    Edit: her face doesn't appear to have any wrinkles, but I am not sure whether her hair is slightly grey in places? Annoying that we cannot see the ring finger.

    Another edit: Actually, I might be tempted to go earlier with the date. The lace on the dress wouldn't have been as fashionable in the late 1920s as it was in the late 1910s.



    ... oh I give up.... where's Barbara and Don?

    lol

      :D thanks Tom ... you sound just like me



      What do you think of my new dress colour ?
      I'm not sure about it but thought it would be more 'summery'

        Was it darker before? It looks very professional either way.

        So when was this lady born then?

            I think she looks very young Rachel, late teens perhaps?

                  Not sure how old she is, but the photo looks pre 1910, her hairstyle puts her about 1905 I think......;)

                    Thanks Barbara

                    She was born in Spring/Summer 1882 .... so I was wondering if it might have been a special birthday photo

                        well I did wonder about those ages Tom
                        I suppose at that time it was still the rule that the hair went up at the age of 18 ... and she's not showing off a ring, so assume it's not an engagement pic. (just thinking aloud)

                        Have no idea when, where or if she married so far

                              I think about 18.
                              She doesn't look as confidant as an older girl might.
                              Her hand looks a bit awkward sitting like that.

                                Thanks Mary .... maybe she was like me and had a dislike of being photographed
