Hi Romilly
Thanks for that, Yes it is a nice picture, hard to believe that the sweet innocent bride was tried for murder 18 months before! found not guilty for the murder of her child, really through a technicality, the child was alive when the police found the baby but died a few hours later. hence she did not murder the baby, the baby's father (a married man) committed suicide. My only exciting ancestor to date.

Hi Romilly, yes it does look the same, I think I need a lesson in attachments The file was too big to do it in colour and you have to click to open the picture, never mind got there in the end.

Hi Prue
sorry I can't seem to send a copy, but it is in a little box, the actual 'photo is on glass framed with a bronze coloured metal. The image is reversed because her wedding ring is on her right hand according to the 'photo. Does this help?

I am lucky enough to have my gt gt grandmothers wedding 'photo taken in 1856. As they were just poor ag labs how much would this 'photo have cost? and how many weeks wages would it have taken to pay for it?

I have lot's of John Smith's, & Robert's and William's actually they were quite easy to trace and made contact with another researcher of the same Smith's. Now my Griffiths from Wales, that's a different matter.........
