Our Mystery Photo
Can anyone help with the photo I've used at the top of the pages.
It came to me in a small album from a Great Aunt with 5 other photos - all the other photos in the album were taken by studios in Bath or Bristol but there is no information on the back of this photo. My Great-Aunt was born around 1900 in Spaxton in Somerset but I reckon the picture is a lot earlier than when she was at school. It could well be of her Mother who was born in Weston, just outside Bath in 1867 which would date the photo to the 1870s.
Any ideas?
