—NOTE: The following parents have one primary source linking both these sisters with them, as well as a photograph claiming to show them with the Mother here and her other children.

1900:
Later half of 1900 — The MOORE family reunion showing only the women and the children. Probably taken during a visit to Boston from Canada, by the oldest sister, Mary VELMURE with her 2 youngest children along with one of the mothers. OR: During a visit to Canada from Boston by the younger three sisters: the youngest single sister, Jennette MOORE, and Eliza COOK and Christina SABLES with all their children. [20]
Bk row, L. to R. (4 daughters of Elizabeth McKENZIE (MOORE)):
(baby on lap), Walter Edmond or Howard COOK, (Eliza's 3rd oldest son), (10 Aug 1900), age <1 OR Fordyce E. VELMURE, (Feb 1900—3 Aug 1900), age 1-6 months. —NOTE: If this baby is Walter COOK, then this photograph was taken sometime after 10 August, but if this baby is Fordyce VELMURE, then it was taken sometime before 3 August. Either way this photograph was taken in 1900.
(seated in center), Elizabeth E. McKENZIE (MOORE), (the MOORE matriarch), (1827), age ~73 —NOTE: This 'Elizabeth' would be the most logical elderly woman for this photograph as all the ladies behind her, are her daughters. OR Elizabeth BOOTH (COOK), (the COOK matriarch), (1843), age ~53. —NOTE: Based on another photograph we have for this person, the ederly lady here, is likely this Elizabeth, the mother-in-law of Eliza. Both of these older ladies were living in Shediac New Brunswick at this time, but the probable reason they could have decided to take this photograph with her was that she was very sick and they knew she was about to die (14 Oct.), and they wanted a memory. Another possibility is that these photographs have been misidentified, which allows for the possibility that this lady is actually Elizabeth McKENZIE and the photographic evidence is wrong. If she is the correct person in this photograph, then the likely date is 1900, between 13 Jun (Eliza still in Boston) and 13 October, her death.
probably George Watson SABLES (Mary’s 3rd child), (1896), age ~5
Ft row, L. to R.:
probably Jeanette SABLES (Mary’s 4th child), (1894), age ~7
probably Mabel E. VELMURE, (Christina's oldest child), (1895), age ~6
probably Joseph or Fredericks Henry J. VELMURE, (Christina's 3rd child, a boy) (1898), age ~3
1904:Christine MOORE, at the time of the birth of their daughter, Mildred Gertrude VELMURE on 27 Jan, lived at 62 Centre St, Malden, Middlesex, MA. Her husband, Henry J., was a hairdresser. [12]
