The picture it's nice so beautiful

Looking in Trove, there is a Family Notice (Births) in the Courier Mail of 22 January 1938: BLUNCK.— At Beaudesert, on Thursday. January 13 to Mr. and Mrs. Rex Blunck (nee Clarice Johnson), a son (Barry Johnson). On 8 October 1934, in the Courier Mail, this: A concert in aid of the Ballandean School of Arts building fund was organised by Mr. Frank Fielder, assisted by Mrs. Denyer. Items were contributed by Mrs. Denyer, Misses P. and V. Denyer, E. Mason, Clarice Johnson, and Messrs. Frank Fielder, L. Watts, Douglas Watts, and George Fisher. A dance followed the concert, music being supplied by Mrs. Denyer, Misses K. Newman and Walsh, and Messrs. R. C. R. Newman and Dudley Smith. There is a birth registration in 1912, in country Queensland, for a Clarice Maud Johnston.

The birth of a Reginald Russell Hartigan was registered in country Queensland in 1912. Nothing much else pops out with a quick search. Widening the search on Clarice, she pops up a few times in reports of social events at Stanthorpe in 1926 and 1930; she appears to have been in the Stanthorpe Amateur Dramatic Society.

geoffd Thanks for the additional information you added to this photograph. Trove is indeed a great source for this kind of information. It's a great help to us at slq to have more context added to our collection material. Keep up the great work!

I suppose the other way of looking at it is that I'm just a 'stickybeak'. I can't see something like this without trying to find out something about the people. (I do research for the Sandgate and District Historical Society, plus I am slowly working through my grandfather's collection of World War 1 photos and other ephemera to try to add more details to the little he left me.)

In the 1926 census, Paul Scully is 28, a bank official at the Munster & Leinster in Tramore, staying at a boarding house.

I don't see Ellen or her father Daniel in Tramore in 1926

Which do we think is Edward J. Ryan, Catholic Curate from Niall McAuley's marriage registration form?

suckindeesel Excellent. Date established for us, and location at University Church. Can you make out Gertie's father's job?

National Library of Ireland on The Commons No, but his farther’s job was National School Inspector.

‘On 26 June 1922, he was kidnapped by anti-treaty forces in reprisal for the arrest of anti-treaty officer, Leo Henderson; his kidnapping was a precipitating factor in the formal outbreak of the Irish Civil War, when government pro-treaty forces two days later attacked anti-treaty forces occupying the Four Courts.[1] O'Connell survived the fighting and spent the rest of the civil war as General Officer Commanding the Curragh Command.’

They had two children
O'Connell died on 19 February 1944, of a heart attack
