From what John _said_ ("just after breeches were replaced by

(Near the bottom of the page, in the 1810-1825 section).

Those styles look about right for cut and shape, although the trousers
are usually darker as best I remember and the waistcoats fancier.

But I intuit, possibly incorrectly, that it's more like some of the
stuff on this page (which is a mishmash of Victorian and Edwardian):

Definitely Edwardian; some of those styles lasted into the twenties or
even the thirties in the UK, if my memory of various photographs is
correct.
