Old Family Photo's

[Ryewolf]

I got sent this the other week, and not a family photo I've seen before, it's of my Great Grandmother (on my fathers side of the family), I know my Grandparents married in the early 1930's, so this must be from the early 1900's

Catherine (Corrigan) Liddell

Was she trying out for the Ronald McDonald job?

That's a fantastic bold outfit for a lady in those days. It's lovely.

One of the favourite/popular fancy dress costumes of that period, were as a direct result of seeing Seaside periot? Shows, I would imagine that great grandma was wearing such a costume?  

Good she looks in it too.....I can almost hear the Charleston playing and the rattle of long bead necklaces. ?

 Dating Judy haha........I'm presuming you mean placing a date to a photo/fashion rather than the other meaning!

Definitely 1920s, my mum had an identical hairdo for her wedding in 1926, she wore a knee length wedding dress, very short, to previous years.'

Yes, I'm also thinking 1920's now after looking at some ladies hairstyles....

[CanonChrissy]

Look at you guys showing interest in historical hairstyles on women......impressed!

[ChrisLumix]

It's not a fashion!! She's either dressed up as Pierrot or Columbine (I can never remember which). Great shot though.

Looking at the photograph again......she just might be modeling an outfit for....Chris Evans. ?

1 hour ago, Judy said:

 

Was her hiusband's name Alexander Liddell?

I'm not sure Judy, whilst I do have a family tree that my Dad's brother did a while back, it only follows the male line of my Granfathers family.

[Ryewolf]

Oh, thanks for that, that would be great.

[Ryewolf]

No that's fine.

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Judy that's really great. I knew about the Irish connection via my Grandmothers mothers side of the family.
