DWYER - LAYE


DWYER FAMILY
PHOTO ALBUM

THERE  ARE UNIDENTIFIED PERSONS HERE- SOME CUNYNGHAMES. CONTACT ME IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE  hfcmrp@yahoo.com
These are from a Dwyer photo album, and the time of the photos seem to be late 1880's and early 1890's. I suspect the people are chiefly Dwyers, Cunynghames, along with family and friends. St Moritz was where the family of Robert Hoare Dwyer frequented and were very much involved in the early Cresta races there. (Lambert, Robert's brother, was one of the founders of the race club there in the early 1880's.

11   Bertie Cunynghame Dwyer (seated in sled, center) at St. Moritz, Switzerland   Note: The  man behind Bertie in the odd white hat is the same man in the same hat whom seems to be of importance in Image 12 below. I believe I spotted him in an 1891 photo of race participants. - Also, the man in the black hat next to the man in the white hat looks like Bertie, and could be a Dwyer- or Cunynghame..

12 Looks like Dwyers playing tennis- one could be Bertie. The lady seated and smiling at camera is also in Images 4, 5 and standing in 14.
