bridesmaid

Too recent for the irishgeneology records.

There are 7 O'Briens in Killinick in 1911, but probably not any of these folks from the look of them. Thomas, 48, has children from 17 down to 5. The other two and Andrew and Ellen, both single. I don't see a Mathew O'Brien in the births in Wexford either, but he could be born after 1920 and not published, or (given the time gap), he might just have moved, the spoilsport.

The previous shot in the catalogue is 14 September, the next dated on is two along, 23rd November. I don't have an archive subscription for the Irish Times, but there I do get a hit on Mathew O'Brien in Births, Marriages and Deaths for Saturday 22nd October 1949.

Not exactly earth-shattering, but the New Ross Standard needed something to fill some space at the bottom of a column on Friday 13 January 1950

Mr. Matthew O'Brien, Killinick, last week collected a large quantity of blackberries on an outfarm. The fruit was in excellent condition.

Niall McAuley Niall, I've checked Saturday, 22nd October 1949, and can't find that hit on Mathew. Searched back page with all the usual Births/Marriages/Deaths, and also page 7 with social announcements, engagements, and "marriage will take place between..." and can't find any O'Brien...

They don´t look very happy.

Nice

Robert Lesti No they don't - a bit grim, in fact! But maybe that was shyness or the sense of occasion...

innocent !!

They are very serious looking but all four are quite handsome. The poor bridesmaid looks frozen as the dresses look to be made from a very light material.

Belíssima imagem!

I love the photostream of the State Library of Queensland so much. You truly have the most amazing photo archive. There are so many interesting stories here.

What a wonderful photo!
