I have just been given a bunch of old old family photos and I came across one that I couldnt decipher. I will post the front and back. I can only make out the first line which says Mrs J Barry
-
The second line looks like King St
-
Wondering if that final line is West Aus
-
Yes..its Wagin West Aust

-
yes..but don't think thats going to help..as klmadz2301..is trying to find connection to the family.
klmadz2301 and myself are both in West Aust
-
Could it be Una Street. There was a James Barry there, a tailor.

Thanks everyone for your help
So was this being sent to Mrs J Barry or did she sent it to someone in my family and just wrote her name on it????
-
KL, it was sent to Mrs J BARRY [ James BARRY..who was a Tailor ]
Need now to find who it was that Mr James Barry married..
Do you have any Ann's in the family around that time that you don't know who she married?
cheers

Looks like James Barry married Annie Hanson. Son James served in the AIF https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ViewImage.aspx?B=3053234

well done ShaunJ.

Neither of those names are in my family. This was in stuff from my dad's family, which are the Fisher line. Just another mystery. Im sure it will be solved eventually.
thank you for all your help :)
