It must have been 1948 for me, and it's been downhill ever since! I bet his Dad was an Italian, running the ice-cream shop.

blackpoolbeach Maybe some help from Waterford peeps? No Fortes in Waterford in 1911 census. In fact, only 44 in the whole of Ireland - all in the north - Antrim and Down, except for one in Meath and one in Cork...

Carol may I ask the process you use to digitise the different types of media you come across in the different collections. D

Alfred certainly looks very Italian and what a well dressed little boy he is. I wonder if his family were recent arrivals in Ireland?

Great portrait.

Didn't mr. Flanagan have a phone or had he already left this premises?

Michiel2005 Would have thought he'd have had a phone. Will try some directories earlier than 1969...

Good sight of 60's.

I was working in the area around that time and I cannot for the life of me remember Flanagans. I exptec that the youngsters were either on their way to Aughrim Street to the church or to Stanhope street convent but I imagine that they were on their way from Stanhope St. As a long time admirer of the mini-skirt I would see nothing profane about them Stefano!

Swordscookie One of our Facebookers knows the Flanagans, and is checking their address at the time (the business is still on the go), but from memory, he thought it was Halston Street. However, Halston Street is so altered, it's impossible to tell - so we'll have to wait to hear from the Flanagans, still Cutler Engineers!
