| 3 | What about putting it up on the photo dating board on Rootschat. Some dress & costume experts there. They will want to know what if anything is on the back. Do you know what country? https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php shanreagh - 2019-05-20 12:45:00 |
| 4 | Was it taken in New Zealand? If so, more likely to be later than 1860 as photography probably wasn't common previously. Guess would be 1860-80 but take it to your museum as they should be able to identify the era. amasser - 2019-05-20 13:56:00 |
| 5 | I have a similar photograph of my Gt Grandparents and family around 1903. My grandfather was born in 1902 and in the photo wears a very similar sailor suit to the little boy standing on the chair. He also sports the long curled hair. Apologies in advance if that's not a little boy! Edited by daisy86 at 7:55 pm, Mon 20 May daisy86 - 2019-05-20 19:55:00 |

| 11 | Edwardian? or 1890s to 1910 looking at the clothing and reminding me of some of my family photos. village.green - 2019-05-24 09:18:00 |

| 13 | Yes, everyone wore skirts and "breeching" when boys went into some form of trousers was something that happened later, right up to early last century. morticia - 2019-05-24 12:15:00 |
| 14 | Great thread, I have a similar photo of some unidentified rellies that I am trying to date. I'm pretty sure it is my gt gt gt's on ym granddad's side but don't have that pinned down yet. l.e - 2019-05-25 09:52:00 |
| 15 | I would put my two cents in at around 1900. Seen similar in my collection. mitsy1 - 2019-05-27 19:05:00 |
