Thank you so much.  I can make out some of their facial features now!

This old photo possibly includes my great aunt, but it is faded and therefore difficult to tell.  I would be very grateful if anyone could improve the picture quality.  Many thanks, Rosie

Thanks Jim, that makes sense

Thanks Jim,

I've found the record for 1905 where Thomas is in John's household, but apart from the possibility of him being the person married to Bridget on the 1900 Census I can find no other record - which is surprising considering he says he has been in the US for 20 years.

This has been a really fascinating find and I'm learning that things are not quite what they seemed.  If only I could find out where Elizabeth was between 1888 and 1901 - but that looks increasingly less likely!  Hopefully William's Baptismal Record may provide a clue.

I will get William's Birth Certificate if the Baptismal Record doesn't throw any light on who his parents were.

I haven't been able to find the 1905 NY Census or any record of a Thomas Neary & Bridget Brett.  Did you find it on Ancestry?

It came from family members.  Perhaps they were covering up the fact that Thomas had run out on his wife and children

Well ... we may have a bigamist!!!  John's father (Thomas) was born in Ireland in 1841 and his last appearance on the UK Census is 1881 (taken 3 April) so he could have emigrated soon after.
