 2nd Great Aunt Elizabeth Lock. Submitted by Katarzyna |
Elizabeth was born in 1824. Note the hair covers her ears; in the late 1860's the ears were shown. She is also wearing "engageantes" - false white detacheable sleeves which were easily removed for laundering. These were introduced during the 1850's.

 Elizabeth Ann Badcock nee Hawes 1814-77. Submitted by Jill on the A272 |
Elizabeth was born in 1814, and was a well off grocer's wife. This photo was taken in Margate in the 1870's, presumably on holiday as she lived in New Cross, south London. The dress is silk, with detachable lace collar. The chain appears to be for a watch as is goes into a tiny pocket.
|
| 1874
|
|
|
 Mother and child. Submitted by Jill on the A272 |
Sarah aged 25 was both daughter and wife of Lancshire weavers, she is holding her second child. Her dress is ornamented with a knobbly V shaped braid at the neck, the three ruffles at the bottom of the dress are only slightly gathered, a sign of less wealth as more expensive clothes had more ornamental decoration. With only two children at this time she would have more money for clothing than later in her short life, although she may have borrowed the dress for the photograph.
|
| 1870s
|
|
|
 William James Crisp. Submitted by Jill on the A272 |
William wore exactly the same coat in the photo below in 1882. Here, as a younger and more confident looking leather factor holidaying in Margate he wears it undone to show off his stylish waistcoat and cravat held with a large tiepin.

 On holiday in Margate. Submitted by Jill on the A272 |
Jane was a leather factor's wife, though before her marriage she had been a braider employing 6 hands and later a children's dressmaker so she would have been capable of making the lace, tassels and multi layered trimmings that adorn her dress. She appears to be holding a piece of knitting or crochet work. The line of the top of her corset is clearly visible at her bustline.
|
1881 - 1890
| 1881-2
|
|
|
 Maria Crisp, wife of a wealthy grocer. Submitted by Jill on the A272 |
Maria's dress is heavily ornamented with "passmenterie" a form of decoration also used in furnishing at the time characterised by tassels, ruffles, braids and large ornamental buttons. The dress is drawn in to a bustle at the back. Her bodice is worn with a deep lace collar and she has a chatelaine pinned to her ample bosom with 4 chains tucked into a side pocket.
|
The photographers were in partnership from 1881, Maria died in 1882 which gives a relatively short period for this photograph to have been taken. A lady of her age may not have been up to date with the latest fashions, she seems have had the dress as "best" for a while. The family appear to have holidayed in Margate as her home at this time was in the village of Ightham, Kent.

| 1882
|
|
|
 4 generations, all named William James Crisp. Submitted by Jill on the A272 |
The baby was born 11 March 1882, which helps date the picture to the summer or autumn of that year. William on the far right had owned this coat for a while, and chose to wear it buttoned, compare with the picture in the previous decade where he looks more casual. In 1882 he has chosen a tie like the modern ones we all know rather than a cravat and tiepin.

 2nd Great Aunt Elizabeth Paternoster. Submitted by Katarzyna |
Elizabeth b 1843 married her cousin John Paternoster, a gamekeeper so they were a working class family.The photo would have been taken in early 1890's. Plain suits with little ornamentation except perhaps a brooch on the collar and the hair tied back in a bun with no fringe was the order of the day.

 Great Aunt Emma Beadon Sporle. Submitted by Katarzyna |
Emma, b 1876, married Jacob Stechmann a tailor in West Ham in 1898 but I believe this photo to have been taken in 1895-6. Collars were high and with a ruffle or lace under the stiff outer. Emma's father was a sailor and then a railway porter so again they were a working class family.

 Shooting Party c 1895. Submitted by Katarzyna |
Ezekiel Paternoster b 1810 (far rhs with bushy white beard) was my 2nd Great Grandfather. He was an agricultural labourer on an estate in Rushmere St Andrew, Suffolk. The hip length capes of the ladies are very masculine and functional as befitted their country style of living. However, this was the era of La Belle Epoque and in high society the capes were embellished with embroidery, lace and beading etc and were much more frivolous in appearance. The double layered cape worn by the 3rd lady from the left was introduced in 1894. The little round hats that they are wearing date from late 1880's.

|
 Late 1890s dress bodice. Submitted by Jill on the A272. |
The dress, in silk, has "leg of mutton" sleeves ruched at the top and decorated with blue velvet. The bodice is hand stitched and mounted on a boned calico lining, fastening with 12 hooks hidden by the front pleating. Some gores of the original skirt remain and this was lined with stiff cotton net and trimmed with the same velvet. Another bodice once existed (one sleeve picured below which also shows the original colour), although all that remains is the left front, as it the dress was given by an elderly lady to a young woman to be unpicked for reuse during the 1940s.
