Derry (Londonderry) / Mary Anne Crockett / Slaghtabogy
« on: Sunday 17 March 19 13:36 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to establish parents of Mary Anne Crockett from Slaghtabogy, Maghera.

She married Joseph Patton and they had 7 children between 1878 and 1893, the first of whom was Archibald, named after Joseph's father.

I can find no reference to the marriage of Joseph and Mary Anne. I can find no reference to her death which should have been sometime between 1893 and 1903 as it appears that Joseph married Annie Cassidy in 1903.

Many thanks in advance.

World War One / RFC /RAF unit codes
« on: Tuesday 22 May 18 22:04 BST (UK)  »
Two of my father's uncles (brothers) enlisted with the RAF towards the end of WW1. I have managed to decipher the RFC/RAF unit codes for one brother but am running up against a wall with the second.

From other posts I have RD as Farnborough but are RD(D) and RD(R) also Farnborough?

The units I am struggling with are SYHC, 199YS, 200YS, E & PD Renfrew, IDE.
Marske and Eastchurch I understand but the service record is marked in red pen. Are these corrections / edits around the time of his discharge?

Many thanks in advance.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Estimated date for picture of Jane McCracken Crockett - Belfast

Many thanks for the pointers Jim. It almost certainly rules out the possibility that the woman is Jane McCracken.

I too had thought that the woman in the pciture was into her late 60's or early 70's whereas Jane died aged 45.

The source also stated that the children were her grandchildren but Jane's grandchildren were all born after she died. Her husband remarried the year after she died in 1872. Her children would have ranged in age from 2 to 16 at the time of her death.

Once again, many thanks.

Hello

Would appreciate an estimated date for the attached picture taken by John Phillips in Belfast, Co. Antrim, supposedly of my great great grandmother Jane McCracken Crockett. I have my suspicions as she died in 1871 age 45.

Information on John Phillips with thanks to Aghadowey and Scotmum from this thread : http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=768123.0

Many thanks

Aghadowey, Scotmum

Many thanks for your replies. I will get an estimate of when the picture was taken. It purportedly shows my great great grandmother but she died in 1871 aged 45 and the woman in the picture looks considerably older. Your answers have only heightened my suspicions - if the numbers add up John Phillips may not have opened his studio until after that date.

Antrim / Phillips photograghy studios Belfast
« on: Saturday 25 March 17 01:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

Trying to date an old family photograph which was taken in Phillips studio Belfast. There are a few threads going back ten years and more in relation to historical studios in Belfast but none which has identified the studio or when it as active. I am particularly interested in when it was operational.

Many thanks in advance.
