Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: old family letter from 1849
« on: Sunday 12 January 25 15:11 GMT (UK)  »
John's wife was Jenny Kirkpatrick and they married in January 1849. I have his date of birth as April 30th 1821. I have no idea where they ended up after their arrival in Philadelphia.

I managed to get the letter transcribed, and I think it is pretty accurate. There is only one word I couldn't get. I'll attach my attempt.

I would appreciate some guidance; some words aren't easy to make out...

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / old family letter from 1849
« on: Friday 10 January 25 21:46 GMT (UK)  »
I managed to get this old family letter from 1849. The letter was written by my 3rd great-uncle John Wilson to his father, also named John, about his journey from the North of Ireland to Philadelphia, USA. The letter seems to mention the dates he left and some of his experiences on the vessel that he was travelling on.

Derry (Londonderry) / John Logue of Drumachose
« on: Thursday 19 August 21 22:33 BST (UK)  »
I need some help with locating the graves and other information about my 3x grandfather & grandmother John and Mary Logue.

I know that John was born around 1837 in Faughanvale, Co Derry. His father was called Philip but I'm unsure who his mother was. He married Mary Geoghegan/Gegan/Geegan in January 1867 in Dublin. Mary moved to Coleraine after his death as her residence on her death certificate is listed as Westbrook Terrace, Coleraine. I know he had a son called John who was my great-great-grandfather who died 6/10/1940 and a daughter Frances Diamond who died 4/12/1945. He died on July 9th 1885 in Drumachose, Limavady aged 48. His occupation was listed as an Army Pensioner. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

can this family photograph from 1958 be restored? My grandfather is the older man on the right with his older sister beside him as well as his two younger brothers in front of him.
