What does this say?
 
I can't read the caption under this photo. I only know it was taken in the 1860s in Dublin. I believe I know who wrote the caption, but that hasn't helped!

Any ideas?

My dear Sister ?????? her Mari

Mari is French for husband but why suddenly switch to French at the end?

Merry 22-02-24 21:53

Exactly what I read! lol

Sister's names are...

Susan
Rebecca
Anne

Susan didn't marry. Anne might have spent some of her marriage in Ireland, so she's the best fit, but it doesn't say Anne. Maybe a nickname?

Merry 22-02-24 21:55

Could it be her surname? The two married sisters were Rebecca Lockwood and Anne Siree.

I think it could be an initial then "and".

Merry 22-02-24 22:17

Oh, OK - having another look....

Merry 22-02-24 22:22

Thanks - that does seem likely, though of course the initial isn't clear and doesn't seem to be any of the likely ones! Thanks for your help, Kate. I will ask the album owner if any of the other captions are similar.

Agree with Kite that it looks like ? and her Mari. Suggests it is a nickname for her partner, which might mean that the sister herself had a pet name.

Merry 23-02-24 18:32

That sounds pretty plausible! Thanks Phoenix.
