1. When the fiddler exits the church at the wedding, the fiddle is fitted with a chin-piece, which was not used on fiddles until the twentieth century.
2. At the end of the film, as Edward is coming up the road, Elinor is working in the garden, her hands grimy up to the wrists. As the women rush into the cottage just seconds later, the amount of dirt on her apron doesn't match the dirt that was on her hands, and her hands are practically clean.
3. When Elinor and the rest of the family stands as Edward comes with the news of his brother's wedding, first Elinor's hands are at her sides, then they are under her apron (presumably to hide her dirty hands), and then they are back at her sides.
