	Your local museum, national portrait gallery or any of the large museums in large towns/cities? Good luck, Viv.

	You could try this site: www.rogerco(.)freeserve(.)co(.)uk There are some lovely old photographs and the man who runs the site will date old photographs to within a year or two as he has quite a bit of experience. I don't know if he charges or not. Hope this is of some help.
