This album was purchased in Colchester County, Nova Scotia. It has cabinet cards and a few tintypes, with the bulk of them being from Boston. Only 4 out of 30 with any writing. I’m hoping someone associated with one of the names will be able to help in identifying the other individuals.
The two photos that I am able to find possible individuals to fit the profile, all have a Nova Scotia – New England connection.
Photos are in the order they appear in the album.

Written on Back: “Ira Bigney”
Research: There is a Charles “Ira” Bigney b. November 4, 1881 in Wentworth, Cumberland, N.S. He died in October of 1972 in Providence, Providence, Rhode Island. All of his siblings ended up in either Rhode Island or Connecticut.
There is also a Henry “Ira” Bigney b. May 30, 1878 in Nova Scotia who was living in Brockton, Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1900.
Hoping someone can positively identify this photo as being one of the two individuals listed above.
