St Joseph's Industrial School, Glin
« on: Monday 19 January 09 16:44 GMT (UK) »

I have a photograph of my grandfather in St Joseph's School band when they played in Foynes in 1916. I know he and his siblings were orphaned, and would like to try to find out more about how he ended up there. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Was St Joseph's just for boys, and if so, where did the girls go?

its referrered to as 'St. Joseph's Industrial School for Senior Boys, Glin, Co. Limerick' so its apppears that it was just for boys.

Some Limericks school for girls mentioned in similar articles are :
St. Joseph's Reformatory School for Girls, Limerick
St. Vincent's Industrial School for Girls, Limerick
St. George's Industrial School for Girls, Limerick

Thankyou for your replies, I will look up the girl's schools and see what i can find; having seen the 1901 census returns for Glin, I believe I will probably just find initials.

The photo is much improved; now it is clearer, I think it may be earlier than 1916 as my grandad looks younger than the 16 years old I thought he was.  Smiley

is your grandfather the person far-right in the middle row marked with the 'X' holding the Clarinet ?

I could crop that section & clean it up a bit more if you want...

cropped & processed ...

do you have the original photo - it might be possible to retrieve a better image with a higher resolution scan..e.g. 600 dpi

Thanks for this Shane; I only have a copy of the photo so I'm not sure I can improve on your work!
