Margaret ?A. H. SHERRET/SKERRET?
Here is an old photo which came with information on the reverse. Is she one of your relatives?

Aged 9 years I had trouble reading the name on this card. I wondered about HEWIT, THOMAS, SLOANE? And others have suggested HARNET or THOMSET. Lizzie, a kind contact at Cheshire Roots Chat has suggested SHERRET and as there are several Margaret SHERRET/SHERRAT/SKERRETs born in the relevant years in the Sale area I suspect she is probably one of those. |

She looks well wrapped up in a big new coat which has
been bought to last (or handed down from someone much
bigger). And is that a fur or
fur-trimmed bonnet? But somehow she doesn't look
as though she is from a well off family even though her
clothes are new (compare her with this photo of
a young girl in 1879 from Roger Vaughan's website).
Perhaps she was about to be sent off somewhere and this
picture was taken as a memento. DATE: Given as 1877.
