Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Approximate dates please
« on: Sunday 07 September 08 03:22 BST (UK)  »
I obtained scans of these photos some time ago but would like to be able to determine approximate dates to narrow the likely subjects. I'm assuming they are husband and wife as it's the same studio and thus would both be from the same time.

Assuming my guessing of the likely subjects then the photos would have been taken between 1850 and 1866.

OR, could have been taken between 1876 and 1930 (most likely late 1870s-1880s).

I'm also guessing that 'formal' wear for portraits is likely to be in an older style rather than contemporary fashion.

Kilkenny / Mary Carey abt1824
« on: Wednesday 27 August 08 08:27 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for information on a Mary Carey who married Phillip Cannon. Her death certificate, indicates she married in Kilkenny about 1843. Her death certificate lists parents as unknown. Philip and Mary immigrated to Australia in 1854. Two of their three daughter were born in Kilkenny -- Mary Ann about 1850 and Eliza about 1853.

Any clues of where to even look greatly appreciated as I haven't had much luck with Irish records although have been able to locate a lot of information after the family's arrival in Australia.

Many thanks,
Brian.
