I've "rescued" an old photograph of Mary E. CLIFF which was taken at the
Allen Studio in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. The photograph appears to have
been taken in the 1880's with Mary likely only about 3 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 Port Carbon Boro, PA:
Joseph A. CLIFF, age 34, born Nov 1865, married 10 years, born PA, parents
born PA, a Railroad Fireman
Mary CLIFF, wife, age 32, born July 1867, married 10 years, 3 children/3
living, born PA, parents born Ireland
Joseph CLIFF, son, age 9, born Aug 1890, born PA, at School
Mary CLIFF, dau, age 8, born Nov 1891, born PA, at School
William CLIFF, son, age 3, born Nov 1896, born PA
1910 census of Port Carbon Boro, PA:
Joseph CLIFF Sr., age 40, married 22 years, born PA, parents born PA, a Coal
Mine Carpenter
Mary CLIFF, wife, age 37, married 22 years, 6 children/6 living, born PA,
parents born Ireland
Joseph CLIFF Jr., son, age 19, born PA, a Coal Mine Laborer

William CLIFF, son, age 12, born PA

I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that this precious old
photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a
member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
