Elizabeth was born in 1824. This photo was taken in the early 1860's. 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. 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. Submitted by Katarzyna

This photo shows the younger ladies wearing simple skirts and blouses. Often they were worn with a straw boater or wide brimmed hats for very special occasions. I think Grandma was left back in the 1890's!! Submitted by Katarzyna
