Hey,
in another thread, Daniel Rosenshine said: "R. W. Smith had a travelling companion, Mrs. Nicholls, who only went as far as Queenstown (Craig Stringer is to thank for this info). Nicholls and Smith were acquainted with Fr. Browne so that's why the couple may have been a subject for his photo. "
Now, if Donald's info is true, and that Daniel's also is, it absolutely rules OUT the theory saying that Richard Smith and Mrs. Nichols are the people on the picture; why would Frank Browne wonder who the people in his photograph were if he knew them already ?!
Interesting turn in the case, isn't it ?
