  • Greetings! Is this a photo of Winifred Callaghan? It's the first I've seen, or indeed heard of. Please tell me more. I'm at migseder@gmail.com. Winifred is my grandfather's grandmother. I do have a lot of detail on her life after the workhouse. - Migs (Margaret) Eder

    But sadly I've just found the photo posted at the top of this page. It's of Winifred Callaghan's granddaughter, Winifred Burgess, clipped from a family group taken about 1900. There could be a resemblance, but I would really like to find an actual photo of Winifred. It's not impossible that there was a family group taken when her youngest daughter married in 1886. - migs
