We have a number of old photos collected from various family connections, but of course most of them are not labelled in any way! Does anyone know of a good website or book that can help to date them by what the people are wearing? I know high fashion would not be available to most of my ancestors but trends should show even with ordinary clothes and I suppose we can assume that anyone having a photo taken in the 19C would put on their Sunday best.
