From Me:

Variations on this style of bonnet were worn through out the 19th C. Two things stick out about this one, the neck covering - something that typically is done earlier rather than later in the 19th C, and the fine pleated ruffle around the edge of the hood. Both of these elements make me believe that this is from about the 1840's and may have been worn into the 1850's as well.
