The Mysterious Berwick Lady on the Poster for the Berwick Family History Festival on 3 and 4 October

People have been asking if we know who the enigmatic lady on our poster is or if we know her name.

She's Ellen McKay known as Nellie, aged 25, born about 1878 in Ireland.

Descending under her chin, there are 4 other photos:

A family photo taken in Easter 1902 - see The McKay Family of Berwick-Upon-Tweed.

We think the other photos are of
  • Constance (Connie ) McKay
  • Nellie and Maud McKay in a group of females
  • Nellie McKay and Winnie McKay
and are described on More Berwick-Upon-Tweed McKay Pictures.

Did you know the family ?

Are you related to them ?

If you can help us in any way to help track down descendants, please do get in touch on 01289 301865 or leave a comment below.

More Berwick-Upon-Tweed McKay Pictures

There are more pictures than I showed on The McKay Family of Berwick-Upon-Tweed.

Here's Constance (Connie ) McKay - she appears to be sitting on a cushion.
Constance McKay (BRO 2089/02)
































Group of Girls (BRO 2089/09)
In this group of girls, the middle row, 3rd from right, is probably Nellie McKay and on the bottom row, far right, is probably Maud McKay. However, what's the occasion ?


 
We think this is probably Nellie McKay and Winnie McKay - do you agree ?

Are you related to any of these McKays ?

These photographs, relating to the McKay family of Berwick-upon-Tweed, are in the Berwick Record Office, waiting to be returned to the family.
