    Looking forward to seeing more of these, great to hear they're now available.

    Channel 044 Well, we're up to Laois so far, but that leaves plenty more to come... Have a look at the whole set!
  • Channel 044 said:
    They're fascinating. Really enjoyed going through the whole stream yesterday, a wonderful resource. I posted a small edit of the photos here: shanolyno.tumblr.com/post/35213963117/irelandeditpart1

    The next catalogue entry (dated 1903) is "Child commissioned by Miss K. McCarthy, Arundle Square, Waterford", and as the newspapers have loads of mentions of McCarthys at Arundel Square between 1900 and 1938, I suggest that the Krazy Kataloger has been a little lax in specifying the address. The McCarthys of Arundel Square through the ages (by newspaper mentions) were: 1900 Edward (2 stables to let) 1902 Mrs Catherine (sued for £30 for a set of scales. During the hearing she said they had been in Ireland since May 1901, previously in GB) 1903 Edward again, selling stuff 1918 Miss Mary, charged with not keeping records of meat transactions (pig offals) 1930 Mrs, requesting to have the pump removed from Milk Lane 1933 Mrs, objecting to the closure of Milk Lane 1935 Mrs, complaining that the rear of her premises were being used as a dumping ground 1938 Miss, A decision to by the County Borough to award her £25 (but no mention of why)

    The 1911 census has Lizzie (10 years old) and Norah (5) McCarthy at Arundel Square, both nieces of Edward and Mary and also daughter Miss Kate (aged 27). That would make them 7 & 2-ish in the picture
  • beachcomber australia said:
    These girls might have been too young to know what was going on, but they were up-to-date with the fashion ... "... Suffragette white was first donned en masse in June 1908 on Women’s Sunday, the first “monster meeting” hosted by the WSPU in London’s Hyde Park. The 30,000 participants were encouraged to wear white, accessorised with touches of purple and green. ..." From - theconversation.com/what-is-suffragette-white-the-colour-...
