This photograph has my great grandmother's name written on the back, however it doesn't look like her!
We're wondering whether it might be her mother instead, so would like to date it.
All help appreciated!

This looks like a photo from the mid '20s (possibly 1923-27) - cloche hat, loose-ish clothing, pearl(?) necklace. So whose dates would fit?

The acknowledged expert on photo dating is Jayne Shrimpton. This is her website: http://www.jayneshrimpton.co.uk/. She also writes regularly in magazines and blogs on Find My Past.

Hope this will give you some clues.

We were thinking 20s - brilliant. Thanks for the link - I will check it out.
This would make it my Great Great grandmother, born 1872. My great grandmother was born in 1912.
