the only information i was told was again the names on the back but no date.I cant understand how we had enough money to have a painitng of elizabeth .the whole family is a mystery. how could we afford for john to take his entire family to america plus his brother? and henry went too.in 1883.would you say john hairyes dresses like a man with money yet he was a cloth miller ! could william hairyes have had money somehow that he passed to his children.but he was only an ag labourer !

People dressed up for the occasion (Sunday best or borrowed) when they had their photos taken. I have plenty of photos of people who would have been poorly paid looking quite glam in their photos!

I don't think John's clothes are too surprising. Rebecca's are typical for a dressed up working class woman, but she does look a bit young (I think they both do). For the clothing she should be well into her 40s, given when she was born, but she doesn't look that old - she'd had seven babies too!

Again it would be good to know more about the labelling of the pictures.

Are you saying it was painted before she married in 1867, so in her early 20s??

It could be a painting that someone did based on a photo, couldn't it?

Yes it could.

We have a painting hanging on the wall in our hall of OH's great-grandmother (1868-1947). It was painted in the 1890s in China as OH's great-grandfather was in the Royal Navy - He couldn't afford to have it painted in the UK but it was cheaper in the Far East. The image was taken from a photograph but the painter made the eyes brown instead of blue by mistake!
