Hi Tori
I am also the 3 x Great granddaughter of Edward Hughes - my GG grandfather was James Hughes, sister to your GG grandmother Anne.  Once you have 3 posts on Rootschat you can send a private message, so if you reply to this I can PM you with my email address - I'd love to make contact and share information with you!

Thank you Carol that would be lovely!  I know nothing about old photo types so it's a revelation that tintype photos are 'mirror images' - makes a big difference in this case, with the wedding rings!

Thank you Carol for that wonderful restoration job!  Thanks Jim for the info - very interesting about the wedding rings - I had not noticed them!  One of the ladies married in 1882, the other in 1888, - so it is possible this picture would have been taken as late as 1888?
MODIFIED TO ADD: This picture must have been taken shortly after Mary Ann's marriage in 1882, as the woman without the wedding ring did not marry until 1888.  I know nothing about the lady in the centre of the picture.

Can anybody help put a date and/or location on this photograph please?  The three young women in the photograph emigrated from Cargin, Co. Antrim in 1880, firstly to Ontario, and then to Pittsburgh.  I think two are Kellys and one is a friend of theirs, Mary Ann McCormack.  I don't have the original of the photograph, so cannot see the back to identify any photographer studio.
