This is either Jane Ray 1794 - 1820 wife of Rev Samuel Barker or Mary Ray 1792 - 1872 wife of Samuel's brother John Barker NB Jane died aged 26, is this a portrait of someone under that age and If there were two Mrs Barker's late Miss Ray of Tannington at the time of the sitting I would have thought that the sitter would be fully identified. Ron Goose's view is that it is Mary. |
