Hello

I am looking for opinions regards picture labeled "is this Eliza Magee". I believe she is a young Eliza Magee who was born December 1820 and died January 1900. The picture in question is labeled by family as either Mrs Henry Douglas or Grandmother (which would be Eliza Magee).

The family lived just outside of Killeshandra, Cavan, Ireland and were at one time well to do. Also with this set of pictures is Eliza's sister Mary Jane McBride nee Magee. Mary Jane was born May 1823 and died September 1901 in New York, USA.

Thoughts? Is the dress of the younger girl in correct fashion sequence to be a younger Eliza (I'm guessing by 20 years?)?

Thank you
Jenni

This is my x3 great Aunt Jane. The picture could either have been taken in Belfast or Londerry. Sorry the quality is bad, it is a photo of a photo.

What can you tell me about her based on what she is wearing? (Her husband was a School Inspector) She as born 1816 and died 1896

Thank you

I wonder if any one has information on the following family:

William Drumm (probably born in Ireland, likely the son of Thomas Drumm and Annie Nimmo Drumm).  He seems to have married twice:
22 December 1840 to 
Samuelina Eliza Ann Massett. It seems that she died before 1854 as William Drumm remarries in 1854 to Margaret Tennent Crowe (Dundalk, Ireland) who died 3 October 1855 (Barbados).
They ave at least one child that familysearch has record of: Mary Evans Drumm. William had at least one other daughter and she was Annie Nimmo Drumm (at least I assume that William is her father, as the Thomas I am looking at does not remain in Barbados)

Then there is Thomas Drumm (I believe to be his brother, and Thomas's parents were for sure Thomas Drumm and Annie Nimmo Drumm)). Thomas, I know, was in Barbados from 1845 - 1850, when he left for the USA. I have Thomas who married 16 August 1845, Eliza Ann Massett (Barbados). I believe that he had one son Thomas(found on the US census and shows he immigrated 1850 from Barbados), with Eliza and that she may have died before he left. She certainly isn't with him later, in USA and he does marry there.

Anyone have access to records to confirm the above? I do know that the marriages are accurate, but are my assumptions correct regards spouses deaths and relationships? Is there more than one Thomas?

I am curious, my two Aunts are wearing what looks to  be the Star of David in these two pictures. We have no tradition of being Jewish by any connection in our family, and wonder if circa 1911 it was fashionable to wear the Star of David, wether you were Jewish or not? The family were Methodist at the time.

Family names associated with them are: Swift, Hackford and Read
