  A lovely family photo indeed! The lad on the right is growing out of his suit while the chap on the left reminds me of me when I was his age. Angelic on the outside...

  O Mac Sounds about right, as Tim Flood was born in 1927. From Ita Bailey's obituary, the kids are Martin, Tim and 2 of Ita, Nellie and Eilish. ETA: And the mother's name is Nora.

  Martin Flood's obituary mentions that "He had one brother Tim, the famous inter-county hurler, and two sisters Ita and Nelly." He was 83 when he died in 2005, so he would have been born in 1922. So from left: Nora, Tim, Ita (standing), Nelly (sitting), Martin, Gerald.

  Castleboro was a demesne with a Big House just north of the village of Clonroche, 1900 acres at one time (OSI 25" link). The house is now a standing ruin (Bing aerial view) This is well after that house was burned in the Troubles in the early 20s.
