Beatrice and Marjorie Halliday
"Beatrice is sitting Marjorie standing Marjorie was born Nov 23,1884 the oldest of Charles & Isabelle's children Beatrice was born March 18,1887.
The pic of Beatrice and Marjorie I think was in 1890 that would make Bea 3 and Marjorie 6. Marjorie was my grandma she was born Margaret Irene but everyone called her Marjorie which she preferred."

Family of John & Margaret Holliday
Front row- Eliza , Charlotte, Mary
Back row- Richard, Henry, Charles
The dates on the John Holliday family : Eliza 1853-1892; Charlotte 1855-1941; Mary 1857-1910; Richard 1865-1952 ( they also had a Richard B:1859 that D: in 1859 ) Henry 1863-1916 & Charles 1860 -1938 . They look to be middle teens to early 20's I would say with Charles being married in 1884 at 24 he looks around 18 or 19 probably about 1877 to 1879 give or take a year. This is the Eliza that died at 39,of diphtheria. After her burial,for a period of two to three months,one or another of her brothers sat by the grave,with a loaded shotgun,to prevent it from being robbed. This was a common practice during this period,the bodies being sold to medical students for anatomical studies in Kingston.. The Mary in the pic. you already have one of on the site now.

This is a photo front and back of an individual pic that was in our family album that I always thought was just probably the owner of Sheldon and Davies Photography. Guess what - when I was viewing the Wolfe Island pictures #13 photo 4 of John Holliday on the bottom of the pic was the name Sheldon & Davies.
