If you are referring to the right side of the image, I believe that is a filtered sunlight coming through the lead light windows. It might also be an artifact off a plate. The only repair on that image was fixing a tear to the mat, a fix in the upper left corner, and some spots. The house was a manor in Ireland belonging to the bride's, Allardyce family. Here is the image pre-my-repair. http://homepage.mac.com/lco/filechute/Evans-05Aw.jpg Was that a contact print? I have no definite knowledge of that one way or another. However, I suspect that it could well be a contact print from a glass plate negative. The detail in the original print is quite amazing. I no longer have the original in my possession as I passed it along to my sister-in-law after my wife died. This was their family after all, not mine. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Everything back of the steps looks like a painting to me. I don't remember the relationship, but Allardyces are in my family tree. East coast American, though. Never having travelled to Ireland, I can't say that I have ever seen this manor house, but both my wife and my father-in-law waxed eloquent regarding being familiar with that stair case, and I trust that their recollection was valid. The Allardyces were the Irish faction of my wife's family on her mother's side. I still have some of the Allardyce 18th & 19th century silver, which was willed to my wife and I am taking care of for my step-daughter-from-Hell. I don't believe any of their family migrated to the US, as I was repeatedly educated with regard to the family history and lore. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I don't believe any of their family migrated to the US, as I was repeatedly educated with regard to the family history and lore. Allardyce is a Scottish name, but there were Allerdyces in Ulster; descendants of the Plantation Irish. Family descendants moved, though, so your Allerdyces could have been from anywhere in Ireland. These Allardyces were in Ireland before the partition and the patriarch was certainly part of the Irish gentry, and they were established there in the late 18th century. I was one generation out on the ID, the bride was my wife's Great grandmother, not Grandmother, the groom, her Great grandfather was an army surgeon, Major Webb. I've been in some of the "stately homes" in Ireland, but nothing like that. In one, the owner had turned the home over to the National Trust because of the maintenance costs. He sold tickets and led tours and his wife ran the gift shop and tea shop. They lived is a wing not open to the public. The house my father grew up in in Indianapolis was not as posh, but close. This scan is of a photograph taken in the 1920s. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2.../central1A.jpg The interesting thing about that shot when compared with the bridal shot I showed, is the similar "flare" type artifact. That said, another elegant old home. A second photo from that series shows two rows of carved elephants on the fireplace mantle. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2.../central2A.jpg Nice room. Some of those elephants are on shelves in my living room. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2.../elephants.jpg It is always great to have some of those family heirlooms to pass on. There were 15 elephants originally, but there are now six left. I have no idea where 9 of them disappeared to. The painting over the fireplace in the room through the doorway is also still in the family. My son has it. This is my grandfather, my father, and my aunt on the steps of that house. My father was born in 1917, so you can kind of place the date. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...3/abc-0090.jpg All this reminds me to set aside some time to make an attempt to restore these images. They are just scanned at this point. Here are the male side of my ancestry, my Grandfather, George in the center, my Great uncle Curt standing on the left. Then my uncles Grant, Bob, & Carl, with my father at 14 at the lower left. this was 1934. http://homepage.mac.com/lco/filechute/GWRGCCH.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |

All I know is these Allardyces were established in Ireland in the mid to late 18th century. These were part of my wife's family who remain almost completely within the British Isles, and none were known to have immigrated to the USA. The exception being my wife who became a naturalized US citizen in 1989. -- Regards, Savageduck |
