Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: anyone care to speculate
« on: Thursday 18 August 11 11:12 BST (UK)  »
again many thanks to all of you who have commented on this photo, unfortunately i do not think the negative exists, which is a shame.

also those of you who think it may be a pre war photo might be right, this is why i opened it up to rootschat to get some idea's (two heads are better than one and in this case twenty-two heads are better than one !!!!).

I've taken on board all your comments, i will actually see the original photo this weekend, there maybe a date or something on the back of the photo which may enlighten me further.

once again many thanks to everyone who has made a suggestion.

Marcus

this photograph was taken during WW2. On the right is my grandmother Alice May Watts of hungerford Berkshire.

I am trying to find out any information about the man on the left. I cannot ask my grandmother or her friends as most of them are no longer with us. I realise that i will probably never find out the identity of the man on the left, but i was wondering if anyone could suggest a nationality? or occupation? based on the picture, what do his clothes tell us about him ? anything really I'm just clutching at straws but straws is all I have got. Many thanks in advance - Marcus

hello snorbens1975
       i have recently seen one of your posts on the roots chat and i was wondering if you had any information on the parents of edward watts born 1708?
I am descended from them to edward watts born 1708, he is my 5x great grandfather.
Florence watts b. 14 jul 1897 is my great grand mother, i dont suppose you have any details about her other than her DOB and death date....i am wondering if she got married? and whether she had more than one child ?
i have some photos of watts's from victorian times if they are any use to you?
(i did try to send a personal message but you've only got one post so i couldnt)
many thanks

Hi, I do not think we have the same O'Neill's or Shaws.

 My O'Neills came from the Falls Rd, Belfast as did, The Shaw's, who married in to the Donnelly's also from The Falls Rd, who were all of the RC religion.

                                                   sorry cant help, Tom O'Neill fae Glasgow.

just got round to doing my family tree and i have found a john shaw married to a jane o'neill  on the 12/08/1850 at ballymena 1st presbyterian church.
(emerald ancestors site)

John shaws father was called john who may have been a farmer.

on the griffiths valuation i found a farmer called john shaw and his son john shaw jnr who were tennant farmers of rev william o'neill in 1862

dont know if any of these peolpe are linked ie william o'neill to jane o'neill
and i'm not 100% sure that  john shaw (jnr) from drumramer is jane o'neill's husband.

I'm not 100% sure they are the right shaws in my lineage, i got to 1848 with my shaws and i've hit a brick wall the records dont exist and i find myself having to use creative thinking to match people up...not really scientific I know
but i hope it might help in some way

Shawe 1234. I do hope you find out for sure about the photograph and get the right family connection.   :)

 Just for curiosity I went looking on he internet for information re fashions for that period.

 My previous opinion was formed from a photograph I have, that I know was taking in 1926. Of course people respond to fashion in different ways, some are on the cutting edge, some area few years behind.  :)

But in case anyone is interested, here  are a couple of  links re hair styles and fashion, that emerged after the first World War.

Hi Marcus.
The marriage below will give you an idea of what you might have to contend with in Presbyterian records, pre Civil Registration starting.
As aghadowey states, the details on early Presbyterian records are a bit scarce. A large number only give a baptism date and no date of birth. Some only give the father's name on the really early ones.

I don't know if this marriage relates to your Shaws, but it was the only one I have a record of.

Robert Carson married SARAH SHAW, on the 26 July 1832, in Ballymena 1st Presbyterian Church.
Groom resided Ballee, Co Antrim.
Bride resided Ballee, Co Antrim.
Witnesses,  Robert Hardin and John Hardin.
PRONI film reference,  MIC / 1P / 114 / 3.

Ballee is in the Parish of Connor, which is a neighbour to Drummaul.

Emerald Ancestors has 3 James Shaws before 1855, registered in Ballymena.
If you have a LDS Family History Centre near where you live, you could order the church records for those churches.

Regards,
Dixie


thanks dixiedee

Its possible that this sarah maybe liknked to my family tree.
