    "Ellen Fletcher is the daughter of Duncan Upshaw Fletcher.1 She married Sir Lionel Eldred Pottinger Smith-Gordon, 4th Bt., son of Sir Lionel Eldred Pottinger Smith-Gordon, 3rd Bt. and Sophia Annie Scott, on 1 December 1913.1 She and Sir Lionel Eldred Pottinger Smith-Gordon, 4th Bt. were divorced in 1933.1
    From 1 December 1913, her married name became Smith-Gordon.1"

    Her father, Duncan Fletcher, was a US Senator, and in August 1921 he sent Kathleen O'Brennan two photos of his daughter, "Nellie". The letter has lots of useful information and is worth a look - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000586819 .

    I wonder if the 1928 date on the back of this photo is not the actual date the photo was taken, and this is one of the photos sent with the letter ? Someone will know !

    Edmonston, Maryland is 4km from Washington D.C. Can't quite figure out the link though.

    Sheehy-Skeffington has been posted up here previously ...will have a rummage post rummage edit, it was Lilian Metge photo I was thinking of. She was arrested with SS for leafletting
  • John Spooner said:
    Mrs Sheehy-Skeffington was in the USA in early 1917. The news of her safe arrival in New York City was announced in the Irish Citizen on Jan 6th. The Irish Citizen carried regular news of her visit, and she also wrote pieces as "H.S.S."
  • John Spooner said:
    They (H.S.S. and her 7-year-old son Owen) were still in America as reported in the Irish Citizen on 3rd March. A speech made at Carnegie Hall gets mentioned quite a lot.

    I think these are Detroit Diesel 8V53s. Is that right?
