They had ties to both N. Ireland andScotland, the family owned linen mills probably in both Belfast and Glasgow. They spent time, and Maggie was born at a family home on Lough Erne, Enniskillen, Co.

Maggie, my ggrandmother, died 1901 and her only child, George Good Cressey, was a bit young to have learned much family history. I have photos of her sister Ann Howarth's daughters Kathryn and Margaret as small children taken by photographer Lovejoy, and as girls of 11-13 by Original Fowler Studio. (Phila.)
