I am hoping that someone can date this photo for me. We think it may have been taken in late 1800's? The scarf on this ladies neck appears to go round the back..... we are not sure at all when this photo was taken

Limerick / Lennon/Moloney Limerick

I am looking for the death of Stephen Lennon and his wife Harriette Spearin (SP) who were both born in Limerick, Adare area about 1810. There is no sign of a death for either of them in Ireland. Stephen's family originally came from Scotland ( don't know what part ), maybe they returned to Scotland. We estimate that they both would have died before 1900 and after the birth of their last child Stephen in 1855. Any help appreciated!

I think the answer to your questions is yes.  About 10 years ago, I went to the Cathedral Cemetery and got the records for the persons buried in the family plot (which is in the annex).  I went over the names with my Aunt Anne, who put them in order.  In a house cleaning, my notes were lost (don't ask).  I recall JPS entered as John Patrick.  His wife was Mary Spearing.  I'm going back to recapture that data.  I do not know that he used a middle name or initial in life.

His son, also John Patrick, married Mary "Mame" Fee.  Thank you for the date.  My father spoke of her often.  She died relatively young and her sister Agnes came to help John in the transition.  They married and I knew Agnes, who died ~1975.  When I handled Agnes' estate, I met Jane Fee, Leo Fee and Mon. John Fee.  Mary appears in the 1930 census as John P Jr.'s wife.  Jane, Leo and John are her nephews.  If it helps, I believe most of JPS's sons worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad.  I know that my grandfather Edward and Ellen's husband (who I believe was William) did.  He was killed in a yard accident.  I apologize for the added color but it helps me keep things straight.

In 1940, Agnes appears.

As always, thanks.
