That a cutie. And those were the de rigeur shoes for kids of that era. I had them too!

La Belle Province Were they usually kind of reddish-brown?
La Belle Province said:
Yes, they were chestnut for everyday. The ones for church or visiting were shiny patent leather or velvet. But we called all of them "buckle shoes".

La Belle Province Excellent! Buckle shoes now added as a tag...

Must have been a fairly new shop. The only Haddens in 1911 were a "Supt. Assurance Coy" and family. www.census.nationalarchives.ie

There's one in Wexford though: www.census.nationalarchives.ie
And there was one in Dungarvan in the fifties: snap.waterfordcoco.ie

We've one in Down, two in Wexford, one in Carlow and one in Tyrone in 1911. What we need is a 1925 census.

"Shaws, founded in 1865 as a drapery shop in Co Laois by Henry Shaw, employs almost 1,000 people across its stores. In 1976 it acquired Haddens, which had shops in Carlow, Wexford and Dungarvan."
