Thanks, Graham! Love the then and now...

My nan was born here, would love to trace the family tree and visit there this year! Coffey was the surname :) Plus I look forward to a proper Guinness lol :)

1901 census: Costello, Brouder, Collins, Madigan, McEnery, McCarthy, Ahern, O'Connor, Enright, Sheehy: every visible name is annoyingly here. only exception is the partial name MY. 1911 census: Costello, Brouder, No Collins, Madigan, McEnery, McCarthy, Sheehy, Ahern, O'Connor, Enright . So a perfect match for 1901, and some small difference from 1911. I think this is before 1911. The MY shop is not in either, but could be before 1901 (already gone by census) or between 1901 and 1911.

For many children in the early 19th century, things grew worse! The industrial revolution created a huge demand for female and child labour. Children had always done some work but at least before the 19th century, they worked in their own homes with their parents or on land nearby. Children's work was largely seasonal so they did have some time to play. When children worked in textile factories they often worked for more than 12 hours a day. In the early 19th century parliament passed laws to curtail child labour. However, they all proved to be unenforceable. The first effective law was passed in 1833. It was effective because for the first time factory inspectors were appointed to make sure the law was being obeyed. The new law banned children under 9 from working in textile factories. It said that children aged 9 to 13 must not work for more than 12 hours a day or 48 hours a week. Children aged 13 to 18 must not work for more than 69 hours a week. Furthermore, nobody under 18 was allowed to work at night (from 8.30 pm to 5.30 am). Children aged 9 to 13 were to be given 2 hours education a day. Conditions in coalmines were also terrible. Children as young as 5 worked underground. In 1842 a law banned children under 10 and all females from working underground. In 1844 a law banned all children under 8 from working. Then in 1847 a Factory Act said that women and children could only work 10 hours a day in textile factories. In 1867 the law was extended to all factories. (A factory was defined as a place where more than 50 people were employed in a manufacturing process).

Manipur is not a country. (Seriously.)

then and now

This is probably February 1913. A group of women walked from Newark, NJ to join the Suffrage Pageant and Procession on March 3, 1914 before Woodrow Wilson Inauguration. See article about Craft and Jones getting angry with each other in New York Times (the NY Times made fun of the entire Pageant and Procession, so the tone is not surprising): http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9807E3D61E3AE633A25756C2A9649C946296D6CF

The Women's Suffrage Pilgrimage from New York City to Washington, D.C., was timed to arrive in the capital on March 3, 1913 -- the day before the inauguration of U. S. President Woodrow Wilson. The ladies (and gentleman supporters) managed to leverage a good dose of publicity from all the attention focused on inaugural events. Another Bain/LOC photo shows Ida Craft, a leader of the "hike" -- up close: Another shot of the hikers in Newark, N. J.:
