I have a photo of a Clara Dingley and also a Mary Dingley in a leather bound photo album belonging to Nathan Taylor - in both cases the photo was taken when they were children. There are no details on the back of the photos and I don't know of any family connection to the Dingley family either through the Taylor line or the Manger line. The album isn't dated but judging by the photos inside I think they were mostly taken between 1860 and the turn of the 19th century judging by the fact they include photos from when Nathan visited America and also photos of the baby Lucretia Taylor who was born/died in 1895.
There is probably no connection but you never know.
