Hairstyles - He has got short hair (a bit thin on top I think!) He has also got a tash that goes just below the bottom lip on each side. She has got short hair too (don't know how to describe it really) Another thing - she is stood up, he's sat down (significant?)

They were actually the richer side, lol. They were originally farmers and then moved to London (the photo says it is in Louth, Lincolnshire - which is where they came from) I was hoping that it would be earlier (and then hopefully my ggg grandparent's, but if it was Edwardian it must be cousins) Thanks.

Hair styles are quite important with dating too. There's a website somewhere with hints for dating photos. Try searching this site for threads about them. Anne

Forman shirt (white/creamish, would you guess?) would def be on it's way OUT by the beginning of the 1920's........(though if you were poorer it might stay IN a bit longer).....blouses went softer and more draping in the 1920's. Merry

Puffy blouse screams Edwardian to me. (Werent they called 'leg of mutton' sleeves? Were they in some sort of civil service work/railway/post office clerks, something like that? Im sure there was something on ancestry or somewhere about identifying photos and their era?

Without looking.....a woman in a tie......WW1......that was fashionable.....Same for wearing a blouse and skirt rather than a dress........My g-granddad wore a white tie 1890-1935 so that doesn't help much!! Merry

I was just wondering if any kind person on here would be able to look at a photograph for me and tell me a rough date from what the people are wearing. The lady is wearing a black skirt with quite a formal shirt with puffy arms and a black with white dots tie. The man is wearing a black jacket - pin striped trousers and what looks like a white tie. He also has a chain pocket watch. If any kind person would be willing to have a look at it for me could you please PM me your e-mail address and I could send you a scan of it. Many thanks, Tom.
