I've "rescued" an old photograph of Irma & Jeannette SHELLEY which was taken
at the Stevenson Studio in Brooklyn, New York. The photograph appears to
have been taken in the 1890's with the two girls likely about 5-8 years old
at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate
the family in census records as follows:
1900 census of Brooklyn, NY:
H. A. SHELLEY, age 41, born Apr 1858, married 12 years, born NY, parents
born NY, a Shoe Cutter
Jessie SHELLEY, wife, age 36, born May 1864, married 12 years 2
children/none living, born NY, parents born NY
Irma A. SHELLEY, dau, age 11, born Jan 1889, born NY, at School
Janette SHELLEY, dau, age 7, born Aug 1892, born NY, at School
Abraham CLARK, father-in-law, age 62, born Feb 1838, married 40 years, born
NY, parents born NY, a Sash Maker
Maria L. CLARK, mother-in-law, age 62, born Nov 1837, married 40 years, 1
child/none living, born NY, parents born NY
**no living children for either woman doesn't appear to make sense**
1910 census of Brooklyn, NY:
Horace SHELLEY, age 50, married 22 years, born NY, parents born NY, a Shoe
Factory Foreman
Jessie SHELLEY, wife, age 47, married 22 years, 2 children/1 living, born
NY, parents born NY
Janette SHELLEY, dau, age 16, born NY
1920 census of Ridgewood, NY:
Horace A. SHELLEY, age 60, born NY, parents born NY
Jennie SHELLEY, wife, age 54, born NY, parents born NY
Jannett SHELLEY, dau, age 27, born NY, an Office Clerk
Maria L. CLARK, mother-in-law, age 75, a widow, born NY, parents born NY
Also in 1920 census of Saugerties, NY: boarding in the home of Annie &
Sophie HEISE (sisters)
Jannette SHELLEY, age 27, born NY, parents born NY, a Paint Store Saleswoman
I'm hoping to locate someone from this SHELLEY Family so that this beautiful
old photograph can be returned to their family. If you are a member of this
family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
