Hi Colette, I am familiar with the family of George Henry Rawlins (gs) and his wife Harriet Orr Rawlins. I have wondered about that connection for a long time. I have seen a reference to Jennet Rawlins in earlier records but didn't give it much thought until the arrival of the pics. I do wish the handwriting was easier for me to read. Another Rawlins of interest is one Samuel Rawlins, who married Maria Leslie of Cork in 1795. They had two small children who remain unidentified. This Samuel Rawlins was born inYeovil in Somerset, England and came to Ireland. His father was a Dr. Thomas Rawlins who had a brother George and may have had some relation to the Irish families. George Henry Rawlins appears to also have had a brother Thomas Rawlins, who lived in Cork City and Dublin, This Thomas was also a physician. It is all such a puzzle. Frankly, the pics at least identify some siblings for sure. I believe that the Aunt's name,(again if I am reading correctly is Lawray or Lawry...could be Landray.... Her picture was definitely taken in Cork, Hopefully, more information will surface. Thanks so much!!

Now some family pictures have surfaced coming from both Dublin and Cork. In Dublin we have four pics that appear to have been taken around 1860. The first is a young man. The back is inscribed Charles R.who may be Samuel's older brother, The second appears to be Samuel's father and the third is a young (teenage?) Samuel. The fourth picture is of a sister, Lizzie or Eliza, taken at Chancellor on Lower Sackville St. in Dublin. > > > We also have pictures of Lizzie, Rebecca, and "Mamma" taken in Cork. These seem to have been taken a few years later than the first batch There is another pic of a woman identified as "Auntie H.M. Landray???" > > All are well dressed ladies. > > > As I surmise from the pics, we have at least two sisters, Elizabeth (Eliza, Lizzie), Rebecca and probably an older brother Charles. Searching around on Ancestry has not gotten me very far. But here these folks are. My confusion grows as parents are only identified as Mamma and Father. > > > Father does look just like Samuel.....but appears to be over 50 in the picture. It is my speculation that Father Rawlins may have passed and mother moved to Cork with the girls.....Perhaps they even ultimately went back to England or remarried. > > > > > > Any ideas would be most helpful.

Further study of the names on my photos reveal that one sister may have actually been Jennie or Jini. The First letter appears to be either and "L" or a "J". The middle letter or letters look like n's or z's. Very difficult to decipher. Fortunately, Rebecca had better handwriting than her brother. > > > > > > > Thanks, > > Bev W > > > ------------------------------ > > To contact the IRL-DUBLIN-CITY list administrator, send an email to > IRL-DUBLIN-CITY-admin@rootsweb.com. > > To post a message to the IRL-DUBLIN-CITY mailing list, send an email to IRL-DUBLIN-CITY@rootsweb.com. > > __________________________________________________________ > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-DUBLIN-CITY-request@rootsweb.com > with the word "unsubscribe" without the quotes in the subject and the body of the > email with no additional text. > > > End of IRL-DUBLIN-CITY Digest, Vol 7, Issue 170 > *********************************************** > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-DUBLIN-CITY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-DUBLIN-CITY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
