Label TextThe christening gown belonged to London's Chisolm family. Andrew (1833-1872) and Margaret Chisolm (1838-1903) had five children: Andrew Gordon (1863-1943), Wemyss Sutherland (1865-1964), Margaret Sutherland L. (1867-1898), Ethelwyn (1869-1872), and Agnes Maxwell (1871-1872). It's likely that the christening gown is from a decade earlier than 1875, perhaps first used for baby Andrew in 1863.
