This photo comes from the Floyd-Wiseman photo album held by Marion Porteous, and sent to me by Millie King.

My Great Aunt, Sarah Wiseman married one Thomas Floyd, hence the link. Both families came from Mile End and surrounding area.

I have no idea who this person is. It was made at Abernethy photographic studios in Belfast.

If you can date the photo by the costume, please let me know!

Hello, I also have several Abernethy Studios photos in my ancestral album.
Mine are at an earlier period than the photo you show. According to a descendant of William Abernethy with whom I have had email contact this year, he took photos of Queen Victoria when she visited Belfast 1900 and he was consequently honoured with a Royal Warrant - your photograph has such a Royal Warrant.
Also according to the same source, Abernethy operated up until about 1910.

Hope this assists
