    I'd hazard 1940s from the fashion, and the cool dude up the back with a zipper jacket.
  • Suck Diesel said:
    Same location Bride was also from Ballyhale, Co. Kilkenny, so where’s the backdrop? Morton could be grooms name, possibly
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The very next shot in the Poole catalogue is the one below from 1952, Which would explain why I don't see today's in the online marriage records
    An Irish wedding in Ireland, what else would you expect?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Paging back in the catalogue, the first dated one I find is also 1952:
    A handsome pair of Cats – The Murphys on their wedding day

    The later-in-the-catalogue one is Sept 1952, the before one unknown 1952.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I don't have newspaper access, but Tuesday September 23, 1952 WEDDING BELLS in the Irish Independent might be interesting Hmm, maybe not. At least one Morton mentioned, but looks like a Connor/St. John wedding.

    Stil there, still ugly: Streetview

    I stand corrected, that streetview is from 2017, and the NIAH says it was demolished in 2018. Also this note:

    The grain store or warehouse was occupied by pro-Treaty forces during the Civil War (1922-3) and the uppermost floors carry scars from bullets shot by anti-Treaty forces stationed on the South Quays.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Compare the streetview looking South from Dock road in 2014 to 2021.
  • Seán Ó Domhnaill said:
    Probably a warehouse. It has quite a modern look to it.

    There was mention of the R&H Halls flour mills a while back; early use of the Hennebique ferro-concrete system of prefabrication in Ireland -

    I don't see them in the Civil Records - maybe they were married in Rome?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Niall McAuley It might be an April Fool's Day prank !
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Niall McAuley 1952 is too late for the civil records. Marriage records are only released after 75 years.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    I should add that I haven't found anything of interest yet.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Sharon Corbet I will be back to comment in 2027
