Antrim / Re: Do you know these people? Belfast, likely Joseph Street.
« on: Monday 11 September 17 10:08 BST (UK) »
1943 Belfast Street Directory shows Edith McKenzie lived at #23 Joseph Street and Mary Ann Hayes #43. The 3rd lady will likely be a neighbour too as they are all in their aprons and these would have been taken off if they were leaving the house to go shopping etc... Photos were usually taken by street photographer as most people did not have the money to buy a camera of their own so neighbours would have squeezed in together to get in the photo. It may be it just happened these 3 were having a chat and a photo opportunity presented itself. There was also a Mary McKenzie living at # 51 which may have been a relative of Edith and perhaps she is the 3rd lady.

Edith is listed also on the 1911 census as being at 44 Joseph Street, not unusual for families to move around the same street over the years as the children were added. (mine lived at about 5 different houses in McCleery St). Edith was only 2 years married and had one child.
Theres a Mary Ann Hayes living at 39 Upper Meadow Street on 1911 census and the age matches, she is one of 4 living children (8 born) and working as a typist.
