Hi

What a fantastic photo!  :)

Sorry we haven't been able to help you so far on this one. 

Have you made any progress,  or do you have any further details that could help someone to find what you are looking for?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Hello There,

The only other information I can provide with regards to this photo is, my "Close" relatives were from Belfast, I have entries which include both the Counties of Antrim and Down. They were Protestant, had a connection in the 1860's with St. Anne's in Belfast, as well all the male lines from 1840's carry the names James, John, Robert Henry, William, the females, were Annie, Margaret, Caroline. and Susannah.  We are connected thru marriages in the 1800's to the surnames "Hedley, Lawlor, Crumlin, Boyd, Wilkinson, and Crowe ", to list a few.  Believe there are current "Close" relatives that descend from William Close b. 1881, John Close b. 1877, Susanna Close b. 1877, Robert Henry Close b. 1870, all children of James Watson Close b. 1844 d. 1889,(son of John) and Susannah Hedley Close b. 1842 d. 1918, still residing in Belfast.  Would be interested in hearing from them, as well as identifying this photo..... 

All the Best
