Am amazed. Thanks again.
Thanks all, what a friendly and welcoming community this is. I hope I can contribute back at some point.
The restoring is great. On another thread I am in conversation about when and who these people are. When I don’t know. But this couple with child can only be one these two.
The first is
Mary Devote 1842-1918
William Barni 1846-1887
Married in Bristol, after his early death Mary went to live in Cardiff, then to London where she died at her daughter’s house. Mary was not there in the 1911 census so we assume she was still living in Cardiff.
They had 12 Children, 10 survived.
1866-1867, 1868, 1870-1871, 1871, 1874, 1875, 1876 etc. All born/died in Bristol.
The second are
Richard Devote 1852-1919
Angelina Barni 1853-1906
Married in Bristol moved to Pembroke by 1876, then moved back to Bristol.
They had 10 Children, 8 survived.
1873-1875,1876, 1879, born in Pembroke, then Bristol, 1882, etc.
Below is a photo that has definitely identified the woman as Mary Devote. On the back of the photo reads “Richard and sister”. On the front reads ‘Metropole Studios Cardiff’. I don’t have the original so it’s a bit small sorry.
We have no photos of William Barni or Angelina Barni. So I guess the woman looks nothing like the older Mary, but the man could be Richard! Any guesses?
