Is anyone able to help?

Hi Guys hope you are well. This is a photo of my 2x Great Aunt Jane Richmond (Nee Ritchie)  born 20 Nov 1874 in Ballymena, Co Antrim.
So spent her whole life in the country as far as I am aware not sure when she died.
I would really appreciate if this photo can be restored.

I am looking for the date of marriage between Mary Theresa Nixon of Birr  Kings Co. and Richard Walsh which i believe took place in the some point after 1947 early 1950s in Dublin.

We beleive both have passed. Mary was last seen alive by her family at a funeral of her husband Richard Walsh in 1984ish in Highbury London. If anyone can find his death date or hers for that matter it would greatly help my cousin, as Mary was her grandmother.

Thanks in advance

It appears that my Great Great Grandmother may have been a bigamist. I was quite surprised to come across this by randomly searching newspapers.

She was arrested in 31 Norwood Street, Belfast accused of bigamy on the 20th February 1885. She had recently married George Brown on the 18th December 1884. The accusation was that he was her 2nd husband. She apparently married a Fortescue Murray in 1877. Her father William Duncan confirmed to the court he attended the 1st marriage in Christ Church. Apparently Fortescue Murray deserted her and was not heard from for a few years. Yet 2 months after her marrying George Brown he turn up in court. On the 25th February 1885 the Morning News reported that she was returned for trial.

I have a few questions.
How long would it typically be from a petty sessions hearing until a trial was heard?
Why did Fortescue Murray vanish?
Any info on Fortescue Murray at all would be good.

Any information, anyone can find about this case would be great. I hope to go to the public record office in the next few months to see what I can find out. Exciting biggest skeleton I found in my tree so far.
