Eaton Family in Ballymena, Northern Ireland. Identity of lady in photo c. 1870
My mum and I are trying to find as much information as we can about mum's great great granny and my great great great granny!!
Unfortunatley we don't even know her first name, but her maiden name was Eaton and she married a Scotsman from Glasgow called McKay. We know she was originally from Ballymena and believed she may a close relation of Timothy Eaton who set up the department stores in Canada in the 1800's.
We have a photograph of her which we believe to be c.1870. The original photograph had detailed information about her written on the reverse. Unfortunately this information was lost many years ago when the photograph was removed to be tinted. She died around her mid-twenties in child birth whilst giving birth to her second child.
I hope someone can give us some information about her or at least point us in the right direction. It would great if we could even find out her christian name. That would probably make our search much easier!
Cheers,
Emma
