Our
photo depicts the family of John Martin (son of Thomas of Kiln Street who has
featured here before) and Mary, nee McManus, daughter of the pawn-broker of Upper North Street.

We
do not know the names of any of the children.
It
is notable that no one is smiling!
Perhaps
the photographer is to blame.
Then
again, the whole family was about to emigrate to Melbourne, Australia.
Perhaps
they thought they had little to smile about.
Have
any of these children survived to today?
We
would like to know!
