Prints made in Northern Ireland. The placement of these images suggest that these are 2 sets of siblings, children of John and Catherine Wright and (lower right) daughters of Catherine's older sister Jane |

In August 2017, a marriage record was found for Jane McFarland, sister of Catherine, at the Ballygawley COI. Jane appears to have
married her first cousin Alexander James McFarland, who died in 1858 leaving a long Will
which named his son (James Alexander) and 3 daughters: Ellen, Tilda (= Matilda ?). and Emily, probably in order of age. The ages of the 3 women in the lower right photo are consistent with these
three sisters, and their placement together here suggests this relationship. Among the closer family of Catherine, Jane McFarland is the only person who bore 3 daughters between
1846 and 1856, and therefore this identification is fairly secure. These women are pictured individually elsewhere in this album.
