    Fabio >>>>>E & family/friends>>>> I'd like to see what contraption they were going to use to get a heavy bag of sand home with them...

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons That, will be worth another great photo!!
  • Tammy said:
    maybe a sandbox for the children? I doubt it.. but I would like to think that is what it was for. Would have been heavy for sure!

    That gentleman on the right with the languid pose and the cigar was about to make rabbits ears for the lady in the light coloured dress! The bounder!!!

    William Tempest's wife Jane Emily Backhouse, had a sister Alice Gertrude Backhouse. She married Hewston Maxwell Williamson. Since this picture is in the Tempest collection, I would assume that this is a combined family picnic, hosted by the Williamson family. Hewston Maxwell Williamston seems to have been a been a merchant in Dundalk (his father was Thomas Williamson, Timber Merchant)

    Jennigal923 Fantastically detailed genealogical information - thank you! So Thomas and Maxwell and Alice could very well be in this photo, and maybe Jane Tempest, née Backhouse too?
  • Jennigal923 said:
    Perhaps!! Sadly I don't know their faces, so couldn't tell. I do think that William Tempest may be the older gentleman on the family gatherings, outside (one for tea and another for lunch). You also have a picture of "father with Norah and Elizabeth". William had daughter's named Norah Souttar Tempest and Mary Elizabeth Tempest, so more family members identified?
