As I said (and everyone else is saying), it's definitely early 20th C and not 19th C - I'd say 1910s as well. Her skirt and blouse just aren't in the more restrictive style of the preceding decades. But there are lots of clues here that someone more knowledgeable could look at. And she is displaying that watch prominently - that must mean something.
I used to (well still do, I just haven't been around lately) belong to Your Family Tree forum, and all the major UK mags have one, too. You could try joining one and asking - they often have some experts hanging around as well.
Is there any studio marks on the reverse or anything? Sometimes you can look them up in street directories to see when they were in operation, too.
Or you could send a copy into one of the mags and see what happens.
They're lovely photos though - you are very lucky to be getting such a treasure trove coming through!
