The Danhers


 
The Danhers.
 
This photo was taken in celebration of my great granddads patent for the gasmeter invention in 1910's, his patent is well documented and stored at Archives Canada, his co inventor is one Elias Slaght who we believe not to be the photo, my mother Joan Patricia Dutton Rutledge told me that the photo was of family only and it was taken by the inventor himself on his own camera at that time, hence the reason you don't see John Walter Danher/Danaher in the pic, you will however see many of my Danher relatives, mainly with my gr8gr8 grandparents John Danher and Jane Baines in the seats on left middle. They are also the gr8 grandparents of my cousin Sir Paul McCartney, Mary Theresa Danher's parents and she is Paul's maternal grandmother. The main purpose of this photo was to celebrate the family's importance into the invention of the gasmeter. My gr8 granddad John Walter Danher/Danaher was known by his nickname the Meterman.
