They belonged to Frances Bankes, from Soughton, near Mold, who married Philip Pennant Pearson of Nantlys in the 1862. Their son David married Lilla Rogers, the mother with the baby in the photo of April 1902. Philip died in 1910 and Frances in 1923. 'The Queen' magazine illustrated a similar directoire style gown worn with a large hat in 1911. The fashion notes announced that Empire styles were dominant with high waists and demi-trains. It is reproduced in 'Fashion Through Fashion Plates' by Doris Langley Moore, p.148-9. She writes 'We must go back to 1911 to see the headgear of the epoch in its glory. To wear the hat on one side is always a sort of coquetry, and when we have so extreme a slope that one eye is shadowed, almost covered, coquetry amounts to a challenge (but the serious challengers, the Suffragettes, did not favour such hats)....No vanished mode has ever been exactly imitated.
