On Marriage Certificate Thomas’s address was Annamoe, Co Wicklow & his occupation was Baker. Married 1864 to Sarah Jane Newman bc 1837, her address Ballyhad, Rathdrum, in The Registrar’s Office in Rathdrum, presumably as it was a mixed marriage, Thomas being of the Roman Catholic Faith and his wife Church of Ireland.

5 Daniel b
6 Thomas Joseph born May 1873. My Grandfather, also a baker by trade had a bakery at Summer Hill, with his father. In 1897 he captained a football team called The Old Dark Blues. I have a photo of this team with Tommy holding the football, his brother Alex is also in this photograph, but unfortunately I do not know which one he is. I also have a photo taken c 1921 when he is standing on the side, now too old to be a player.
7 John Patrick born April 1879. Family lore says “he joined The Black Watch Reg. and was never heard of again.”
Sorry to be so long winded but perhaps someone will recognoise some of the name mentioned above.
