Gold Victorian Mourning Pin/Brooch braided hair 1836 Age Name Daly 9c 4.5 grams

Gold Victorian Mourning Pin/Brooch braided hair 1836 Age Name Daly 9c 4.5 grams This is a pretty interesting Mourning Brooch braided hair inside of this gold brooch. I believe it's 9 carat but I don't have a gold test kit. There's a nine on the swivel it looks like C after it. I think it's possibly being nine karat would make it British. I've tried to research the name and ironically the deaths were public record after 1837.

I looked up a few of them found one in Ireland in a cemetery and one in another place in England. But I didn't look for very long. I do believe with the last name the age and the date that they died which it looks like January 3, 1836. It would be possible to figure out who's brooch this is.

I think it's kind of rare to have all this information it's pretty neat. The Brooch and pin are in stunning condition looks like it was made and stuck in a drawer for 180+ years.

Weighs 4.5 g a little bit over, the pin assembly swivels so you can see the writing underneath it has the ladies name her listed as Mrs Daly. Died January 3, 1836, aged 63. Really interesting piece and pretty cool to have all this information. This is a pretty early one too. It's pre Queen Victoria I think Queen Victoria was Made queen in 1838? Pretty amazing things 187 years old and looks like it was made yesterday.
