This photo was sent to me by Dianna, one of my Australia McKenzie connections, and is listed as being Margaret Downey and James McKENZIE. While I would love this to really believe this is them, I had my doubts. First I wondered if a photo like this would have been taken before 1854 when James died. I did a search for W. B. Anderson of 255 Union Street in Aberdeen and it looks like his business was much later. Today I am at RootsTech, a genealogy and technology conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. Maureen Taylor, a specialist in photo identification with 30 years of experience looked at it. She said it could not have been them. She said the dress is early 20th century as is the style of the photo frame. Specifically she said the woman's hat is a big give-away because it is from a later time frame than Margaret and James. Now I wonder who this is....and find it interesting that the Australian side of the family was still in contact with the Scottish line that late....I wonder who was left behind that could send this photo???
