Galway / Re: Folan family from Spiddal

Thanks so much, Kiltaglassan.  That must be them.  The dates match well to what I know about Mary and Nora.   Maybe the person responding to the census misunderstood the question about the children and just said how many were literally living with them and not how many were alive.

Thank you for the research and replies.  Sorry that I hadn't been on in a bit to notice.  I'll look this info over and see how it fits.

I think that they look like different but related people.  My friend that shared the pic with me thought that they might be the same, so I asked.  Since I can be mistaken as often as anyone, I welcome other opinions.

I've been looking at the photos on full screen.  I'm afraid I use my tablet mainly for games.

Does anyone think that this could be the same woman in photos taken many years apart?

Thanks for the input so far.  I'll try to get more info about the 2nd photo. 

Pels, I checked the link you posted.  Her hair looks a bit like the pic of the woman with pin-curl bangs.  Maybe she was trying to get that look without cutting her hair. 

It certainly is an amazing style, but I can see why it never caught on.

The first photo I believe is of Margaret Glassford who lived from 1844 to 1886.   I believe the photo I scanned was a reproduction.  It was displayed with a photo of her husband which appeared to be taken at the same time.  She married him in 1861 and he died in 1875. 

The second photo may be of one of her relatives.  The eyes look similar, but the earlobes, nose and forehead look different.  The person who shared it with me said it had nothing written on the back.  It does show a rather distinctive hairstyle.  A date estimate might help us figure out who this is.

Thanks for any help,
Christine

The Lighter Side / Re: Unusual causes of death
« on: Thursday 22 November 12 00:52 GMT (UK)  »
I recently discovered that my grandfather may have been married before he married my grandmother.  If it was him, he was driving his Model-T with his young bride (18 yrs old).  The car went into an unmarked 12 foot deep pit in the road.  The young woman went through the windshield.  A shard of glass cut her throat and she bled to death.    So tragic.

To me, the appear to be the same man.  The nose is the same in both pics.  Perhaps some of the scratches and marks in the first photo are appearing to us as wrinkles?
