Mary Jane Heron was a daughter of William Heron, brother
to Elizabeth Heron,
my great, great grandmother...in other words, she was a niece of
Elizabeth's. I hold many photographs of the Milne family.
I received these photographs from Sheldon Fox, son
of Hannah Fox (Fitzpatrick); Hannah was the granddaughter
of William and Elizabeth (Heron) Fitzpatrick. Obviously,
at the time of the photographs (1860's and 1870's),
the Fitzpatricks and Milnes must have had some degree of social interaction.
