Tish,
One think to note is that not everyone had a stamp, which was usually noted at the bottom because the parents were poor.

Does anyone know what the 'stamps' were in the margin by the name? (Just curious). Sam, I saved your request in gmail, but I can't seem to locate it. Could you send the person you wanted me to look up? I have images from 1874-1883 right now, and will probably go back some time next week and get another slew of them. To everyone, I am going to take a photo of our set-up to take the photos and will post it if there is interest. I am enjoying this site very much.
