Sylvia Daykin

I have an old studio photograph of Sylvia DAYKIN of Geneva, NY which was taken at the Hinckley Studio in Geneva, NY in 1894 when Sylvia was just 5 months old. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Sylvia and her family:

Sylvia DAYKIN was b. 24 Jun 1894 in Geneva, NY to parents James Henry DAYKIN (1864-1945) and Minnie Kipp HUNTINGTON (1868-1958). Sylvia had one brother, Clifford Huntington DAYKIN (1903-1997). Sylvia died 5 Jan 1991.

I am hoping to locate someone from her family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to her family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,
Shelley

Date & Place: 1894 at Hinckley Studio in Geneva, Ontario County, New York 14456, United States
