Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Dating my two dear little old ladies please
« on: Saturday 03 April 10 23:14 BST (UK)  »
Thank you China and Jim,

I have cropped out all the irrelevant detail of the garden, and tried to make the photo clearer.  From the clothes, anyone hazard a guess at the date?

In the emailed version I received, which was quite high resolution, you can see the sides of the photo and a crease on the bottom rh corner.

Were there any cameras around before 1900 and the Box Brownie?

Regards

Hi all

Can anyone date this photo please.  Its not very clear as it has come to me via email and I have tried to make it a bit brighter.  The two women have been identified but I am not sure as one of them died in 1898, so that is why I would like a dating.

Many thanks

Thanks Sandra

I checked out those two marriages and looked for them in further censuses and well of course one wasn't her, but the one that married a Jane Goodwin, Jane's details POB etc did not fit my Jane.   I will have a look at the John Evans marriage, don't think I had picked it up.

Thanks again,

Annette

I checked Vic BDM this morning, and the mother of Elizabeth born in Ballarat  is not my Jane Goodwin.  This one was 21 and born on the high seas.

Thanks for the suggestion Cando.

Hi all and Debra

Who was Alexander Joske travelling with?  His wife and family?  Do you think that Jane was involved with this family in some way, seeing the next two cabin passengers may have been working for him.

Have to wait until Vic BMD gets their act together so I can check that birth.

Thanks for everyone's interest

Thanks Cando

Elizabeth was Jane's mother's name.  Everything fits, so will get onto that certificate, which I can do on line.  I wonder what happened to Mary Ann, will keep looking for her.

Australia / Jane GOODWIN - migrant to Vic 1863
« on: Tuesday 09 February 10 05:37 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all

I am trying to determine if the Jane Goodwin who migrated to Vic on board the Lincolnshire in 1863 is the Jane Goodwin who disappears from the UK censuses after 1861.

Jane Goodwin was born about 1836 in Cheadle Staffordshire, and in the 1861 census is living with her mother, siblings and her two illegimate children, Joseph 5 and Mary Ann 1.  Joseph, who was my ggrandfather, married in 1874 to Priscilla Bartley.

The PROV reference is Fiche 212, page 005.  I am now fairly much housebound and unable to get to a large library, so any help would be appreciated.

With thanks

Acookey

Limerick / Re: Bridget Dore - birth
« on: Sunday 07 February 10 22:52 GMT (UK)  »
Yes indeed Sarah, we are researching the same person.  This is my late husband's family and his mother was a Russell. 

Bridget Dore went on to have 13 children in total.  I don't have the passenger list for the Maria but have the paper work where 8 of the orphans came to Morten Bay.  Sadly their names do not appear on the memorial in Sydney, so far as I know.

Please send me a personal message so I can contact you off list.

Regards

Annette
