victoriana? edwardiana? how to date, this is the question
Sorry for so many ancient photos lately, but does anyone out there know anything about the history of clothes? I'm trying to figure out exactly who these two are:
But the identification is woolly (my aunt thinks she remembers who her mum told her they were, 40 years ago, but we aren't sure if their clothes are right for their dates) and it would help if we could identify an approximate date based on their clothes. Any ideas?
There are a couple more pictures that might possibly be him, that aren't much help.
And I'm not sure if this is her again or not
I don't think many of my f-list are terribly active on LJ any more, but if anyone does happen to have any ideas about when these pictures might have been taken, based on the clothes, please do speak up!

This is a branch we've not done a huge deal of research for, though, and our ancestry membership is elapsed currently. Like I mentioned below, our chief suspects for this couple are Joseph and Penelope Cooper, but if the photos were taken any later than 1910 I'd say they are too young to be them. If we date them as 1900-1910 it might be, though - could they be in their 30s? He could be, certainly.
