These photos definitely came from Beara. I sent them to
my relatives on my grandfather's side in Tuosist and they were pretty
sure these came from my grandmother's side. She was Kathleen Dwyer from
Adrigole. She emigrated in 1927. One of the photos is a street scene
which may be identifiable. Another photo shows two men in front of a house. One
man is sitting on a chair. I have a photo of my great-grandfather, Johnny
Dwyer, in a similar setting. It looks as if the photos were taken at the same
time and place.
So, if anyone reading this recognizes any of the people or places shown here, please leave a comment in the comments section or drop us a note over in the Beara mailing list.
The photograph of the two men are William ( Bill) sitting and Michael (Mike) standing.
ReplyDeleteThey were the Dwyers from Adrigole.
DeleteFor some reason I thought they were the brothers Dan and John who emigrated. You would definitely know better than me. The youngest sister Kathleen was my grandmother. My email is pdmjsull@gmail.com
