Dating an old photo

This may be the oldest photo of family members that I have, but I am not sure who they are, and can only hazard a rough guess. If I could put a date to the photo that might help me name the women in it - can anyone suggest a date? I think it may have been taken around 1870.

Try the wed site by Roger Vaughan "DATING OLD PHOTOS" in Google.
Do you have the back of that photo? any thing on it? which my help date.

Baron thanks so much for posting that site - fascinating photos and information. I am going through it year by year. I think I may have been right in my assumption that my photo is early 1870.

Thanks John for brightening up the photo. And thanks Alf for those sites - I'm going to have a look at them now. Unfortunately, I don't have the original photo, this was scanned to me from the US where relatives emigrated, taking the family photo with them.

Thanks for finding that site Alf, I had it in my BOOKMARKS but lost the lot when I had that problem the other day.
I have now put it in to my favorites for safe keeping, it is one of the best.
