Who is this Lady with the children

[jenph]

Can anyone identify these people.

I know she was my Dad's aunt so she could be Ellen Wood, or Sarah Boyd but I do not know.  She may have been from my grandmother's side of the family.

Chances are very slim that someone looking on Rootschat will be able to identify the picture for you but have you tried sending copies to other relatives in case some else has the picture with names written on the back? Even if you can't identify the peopl in the picture it might help knowing which side of the family it could come from.

I do not have any living relatives with any information on my Irish relatives.

The picture might be have been taken sometime in the late 1800s or early 1900s.

Try putting the pic on the "Photo restoration" forum for a date, their dating is generally spot on.
