This is a photo found in the effects of my first cousin 3 times removed John McConville (1836-1919) of Drumgath, County Down. He joined the army as a teenager.
There is no name of who it is written on the back. She doesn't look like his wife but could be one of his two sisters born 1844 & 1847.
Can anyone estimate when this photograph was taken from her clothing and hairstyle?
A google image search gives similar styles from the 1860's.
I have been told that it was taken in Belfast though I don't have the original photo therefore don't know the name of the photographer.
Also a rough estimate of her age?

Dorset is not listed (nor on the Database format tab) unfortunately.
There was a list somewhere a couple of years ago listing the order in which they were transcribing the counties but I can't find it anymore.

Hello Margie

These are the Bonneys & Allens listed in Warrington Deanery.
Couldn't see any Throps listed.
I'll have to save the Dickonsons and Wilsons for another day, too many.
