Jane Annie , Enniskillen
« on: Thursday 12 January 17 18:45 GMT (UK) »
Trying to find out which Henderson family my g gm Jane Henderson (b1843) belongs to. Her father , according to her marrige certificate was William.

Other papers from her brother Thomas (b 1841)state he was from Ulster and Enniskillen was mentioned.

This photo was among her things. 
Writing on the back says "From Jane Annie to Aunt Jane. Age 21.

(The other names have been added by my aunt so were not originally there.)


The inscription on the front says "Mercers Enniskillen"
I'm hoping i can establish when the photo was taken as it might lead me somewhere. I'm assuming this Jane Annie was her  sibling's daughter.

Her obituary mentions 2 sisters in Ireland and 1 in America.

The small photo next to the Ennoskillen one is of my g gm Jane taken in Adelaide  Australia.  The likeness between her and her niece is obvious.

Help much appreciated.

Hi Colleen

I think, going by her hairstyle, the photo would be taken 1910 +/- 2 -ish (late edwardian)

Thank you all!
This gives me a time period to sesrch for Jane Annie.
I found a Jane Annie BRIEN in the area in the 1911 census living with her mother. Landlord is Thos CROZIER.

As this is all new to me I'm  hoping that maybe searching backwards might lead me back to my g gm Jane HENDERSON.

Do I take the discussion back to the Fermanagh discussion page now?

Thank you soooo much
