photo of mgrory family 1866
« on: Sunday 15 December 24 19:51 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

A family photo has been found which has annotation on the back for Michael McGrory and for 1866.
It must have been passed down to my family through Teresa McGrory my great grandmother and daughter of Michael McGrory (b. 1856) and Sarah McKenna (b/1861). If this is indeed Michael at age 10 taken in 1866, then it could also be with his parents Edward and MaryAnne Magrory, and maybe taken at their home in Loughgilly Parish, Armagh.

Can anyone verify any of this or source any more information?

Kind regards,

Ruairi

I think it would be best to get this photo dated on this board

I am no dater but I would be hard pressed to think that this photograph was taken in 1866.  It looks more late Victorian/Edwardian and the presence of a uniformed soldier makes me wonder as well

Welcome from me too  :)

From the ladies blouse and skirt outfits, I would say that this is more a photo from  the period 1910-1920s.

Is there anything on the back?

So the soldier could conceivably be a 1914-1918 soldier?
