Comments:
I am certain that the lady in the photograph is a Christina Rendall of Longhouse,
Westray born 1863. She was a sister of my Great Grandfather Thomas Rendall of
"swapping for Aaks" fame. She was married to a William Corse of Nistigar, Westray
in 1883. He may well be the male in the photo.The date looks to be fairly accurate.
