Mystery Monday-What year is this photo?
A cousin just sent it to me--a scan of a tintype of my great-grandfather, Albert Murray.
But I have no idea what year this is from. Albert was born in 1856. He was a farmworker and laborer in New York and around 1880-1882 settled in Emporium, PA where he married, was a constable, and at one point, worked at a dynamite factory. I have trouble imagining someone who was a laborer being this finely styled for anything other than his wedding in 1882 when he was 26.

A Marriage Certificate!
I just got word that a cousin has a copy of Albert "Allie" Murray's marriage certificate to Agnes Dalton! I hope it will help me further with my efforts to uncover more about Allie (or Alley). I wrote about my initial research here: Albert Murray, aka Edward Mallory. At the time I wrote that post, it seemed the Dalton Gang connection was unlikely, despite family stories. But maybe the marriage certificate will yield some clues. Stay tuned!
