Dublin / Re: Franco Portrait Studio
« on: Wednesday 26 May 21 18:43 BST (UK)  »
I have just found an old photo which I am fairly sure was taken in 1914.  On the back, it is typical Post Card type.   It does say, The Franco Art Studios, 111 Grafton St, 39 Mary St, 85 Talbot St, & 46 Harrington St.   This seems in line with other estimated dates and locations at that time.  The only difference I note with mine is the name Franco Art Studios, rather than Franco Portrait Studio.

I subsequently discovered the info below.  While the passenger's destination was Boston, the ship, SS Canada, must have stopped at New York.  Hence I could never find record at Boston.

Anyone have info on this ship, preferably the voyage I believe arrived in Boston from Cobh in May 1883?

United States of America / Re: SS canada ship passenger list 1883

I have been trying to get info re SS Canada in 1883 for a long time.  I was sure I saw a record (in 2011) of it arriving in Boston in May 1883, but I could never find that reference again.   Since then whenever I search SS Canada it usually gives me the SS Canada which I believe is a newer ship, the one later used to transport troops to S.A., the one Josephine (?)provided pictures of.  I don't think this is the same SS Canada that was sailing in 1880 -1883 decade.   I may be wrong.
But whoever found passenger list for SS Canada in August 1883, can you help me find simiar list for May 1883 arriving in Boston.

Thanks

John in Ontario
