Can you help identify this couple or date the photograph?
With regards to the photo I was hoping it could be between 1880 & 1883 - in which case I would have said the individuals were Lt. Henry Gray of Bangor (59) and Sarah Jane McClinton of Moy (55) - but they don't look old enough and the picture may be dated closer to your 1894 mark (going by the dress style) - Henry died in 1883 so that theory goes.

Another alternative would have been Nathaniel McClinton of Moy and Margaret Elizabeth Westmacott of Manchester - this had been to suggested to my father by a great aunt - but they would be born around 1842, meaning they also don't look old enough!

So in answer to your question - yes I would be most grateful if you could post this picture on your website!     -      If anyone can help with this query please email me Mary at meems@marylennon,co.uk

What does this say?

MICHAEL LINDSAY your email is bouncing,

The Grand Fruit Store
S. Nelson

in the reflection of the window it says Temperance

its thought to be in County Down, maybe Bangor or Donaghadee?

but there is no reference to a fruit shop owned by Nelson in the directories

SO ANY IDEAS??

Who is this?

Here is the picture of the man I'm trying to identify.  He could be a
McCormack/McCormick, Boyd, or less likely, a Muckle.
I've sent the picture to Linen Hall with no luck and an N.I. historian as
well.  I'm guessing turn-of-the-century.  He's very likely a Protestant 

There was a family story that one of our lot was an MP but the
historian said none with those names. The picture is glued to the
backing, so I can't see if anything is written on the back.

Please contact me if you can give me a name or guidance..

DOYLE

The young man in this photo may still be alive and living in Belfast:-

     The story goes the picture is of a mother 2 daughters and son -  its the son we are more keen to trace, we think the family name is DOYLE from Belfast,  the picture was taken around 1946/7  -   and one of the girls we think is called Katherine, the other is unknown, one or both of them were singers of some description. 
     The boys name was Andrew or Patrick, round about 1947/8 he spent some time in a village called Featherstone near Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England
     We know he lodged with a local lady and may have worked in the local coal mine.

     We have more information but I think that will be sufficient to get the ball rolling for now.

      By the way,  if he's still alive he will be about 79 to 80

  If you have any information or you would like more details, please contact :-

Family Found - resolved

We have lost touch with this family, do you know them?
I wonder if you would post on your site the enclosed photo of some of my mother's family with whom we have lost touch in the hope that someone in the picture is recognised and would make contact with me.

email Adrian McCullough  through me at

Colin Nye

from the Gang Show Belfast 1958

Seeking Colin F. Nye ex-RAF

I am trying to trace Colin F. Nye, who probably lived at 17 Killard Place, Finaghy. He was one of 35 boys who trained as armourers in the 91st Entry of Aircraft Apprentices at RAF Halton in 1959-1961. Later this year will be the 50th anniversary our Passing Out from RAF Halton and I would like to contact Colin with reference to this. There are very tentative rumours that he may have married a girl from Morocco while serving at Gibraltar, but no further details have surfaced. Colin's father was probably Fredrick T. Nye who was an engineer. If anyone knows anything that might help me track down Colin, please pass them to me:
