Following are photographs that lack a studio imprint. Again, whether they have a relationship to the other photographs or to the McMahon and Chaplin families, I can't say.
If you recognize anyone from your family albums and/or research, please leave a comment or contact me directly.

The photograph at the top of the page is Bridget Finn and her son. She married John Francis McMahon, and her sister Lena married his brother George Michael McMahon. I have a copy of this photograph! The son in the picture is Harold Eugene Pond, a stepson. Her first husband was Frank Sargent Pond, and this was his son with Mary McMahon.
