As I am no longer living in the Wellington Area, and an ex pupil of Waiwhetu Girls High School, I was involved in a pantomime in the early 1960's, and I would be be very grateful if someone might be able to look up and copy the photographs as mentioned below.  Unfortunately, I don't have any photos from the event, but it would be fantastic if these were the photos from the pantomime I was involved in. Any assistance would be much appreciated.  Thank You.

I have been clearing out some old genealogy papers today, and came across a note (in my own handwriting) about a marriage I have been looking for for several years.

"David Fleming m Eliza Sheehan ., 24 Nov. 1816 Res Passage, Passage West, Monkstown, Cork and Ross

This entry is in the lately released old Catholic Parish Marriages."
........
A David Fleming, was the father of my 3x Irish great grandmother, Mary Jane Fleming, who married John Gibbons Mathews in Dublin 1845, in the Church of Ireland, Her father was named as David Fleming, but a mother was not named on the marriage certificate!  The time frame from the Catholic marriage of a David Fleming and an Eliza Sheehan in 1816, , to the birth of a child, who could possibly be my Mary Jane was 2 years, so it's just possible this might be the marriage I've been looking for - forever, to find out just who was Mary Jane's Mother, as her name was not on the marriage 1845 marriage cert!  And I haven't been able to find a birth record for her either!

 Could Mary Jane Fleming be a Catholic,  all her census records list her as being born 1818 in Portarlington, so possibly even a Huegenot?? 

I hope someone might be able to decipher this post, sorry, it's pretty mixed up, but then... So am I!! Obviously! 🤔  Thanks though if you can help!  😜😜😜

A landmark for me today!! I've just mailed my DNA KIT!! 👍👍 woohoo! After a long time considering purchase of an Ancestry DNA test, I was surprised to be given a kit from my son and his family for my birthday in July!  I finally did the test at the weekend with my son standing by to make sure I was doing it correctly (not nearly as complicated as I thought it would be though) .

I was surprised to see the mailing address was in Dublin!  They'd purchased the kit from Ancestry Australia, and naturally I thought it would go back to them?? 

Anyone think of a reason why it would go back to Ireland and not Australia!  Would it be because of my Irish paternal line going way back into Ireland - but on second thoughts, how would Ancestry know that I had Irish Roots??  Would it be on the order form - my son knows that we have the Irish ancestors going back to Dublin??  All a bit of a mystery to me, (but I'm darn sure I'm going to be even more mystified  when I get the results back LOL 

Can someone please advise me how to reduce and then rename images on an iPad?  All my photos on iPad are too big, and all carry the name of the photo as "Image" and a number.  Unfortunately RC does not accept them, so I have to rename and reduce before I can post them on here.  I was able to to do them on my PC, after emailing them to myself from ipad to PC,  but I'm currently having computer and scanner problems, so that avenue is not available to me at the moment.

Any ideas anyone?   
Thank you!
