Sepia Saturday
Based on the non-prompt - Without a shadow of a doubt you are on your own with this one, after all, we Sepians are adults and not children. The powers that be (Marilyn and me) have decided that you should be left looking at the picture until you come up with your own interpretation.
Summer 1990 - Montreal Quebec
My cousin's baby shower. That is my maternal grandfather, click here to see him in 1930, some sixty years later, surrounded by some of his great grandchildren. My cousins' children, O'Shea and Swift.
I found them in 1912 living in the same house. This is an image of the original 1908-1915 electoral rolls from the Dublin City Archives.
Interesting that his father's name is spelt (UK) or spelled (US) as Swifte. It shows that they lived in a house and shop.
Wow, that photo sure does depict our theme photo!
ReplyDeleteA curious conversion... funeral home from a home.
ReplyDeleteThe kids look like they're anxious to get back to either the kiddie pool or the sprinkler. We never had a kiddie pool when I was growing up, but running through the sprinkler was a ton of fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat match! The census extract diesn't give the details of your grandfather's occupation, but I'm guessing he wasn't a funeral director.
ReplyDeleteYou found a perfect match!
ReplyDeleteNicely done. I bet he was a lovely grandfather - looking at the pictures of him in your previous posts, he loved holding the baby, and here he is again cuddling a grandchild.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo and family history. It is amazing to be able to find the old homeplace. Thank-you, Internet!
