Then maybe you know my father in law David Geluk? I did meet your mother a few times here in Antwerpen. Aunt Alice, remember her well.
hope to hear from you
kind regards,
Louisa

thank you so much for the pictures, they are both so wonderful. Like the coloured one too. I don't know where they were taken. In a studio or at a fair of some kind. My grandfather is the one on the far right. The one on the far left became one of Norways champions and represted Norway at the Olympics later on.
Yes it is a special picture isn't it. 
kindest of greeting to you;Louisa

A bit confusing here as to the ages of the family.
Looks like Dennis  was only 4 years older
Mary 15 years older, the children were correct.

Wonder why the difference. ? Does this happen often??
Any help here?

David and 3 sisters listed to Patrick Johnson and Mary Reily.
Marriage of Patrick Johnson and Mary Reily in 1852, 10 records of children, some names repeated, so

Can't seem to post correctly at the moment !!! In my last post this section should read

"David and 3 sisters to Robert Whelan and Alice Johnson"

These are
Oct 1877   Mary J (Josephine)   Spon: Fredrick Kinealy, Penelope Barry.
May 1879   Alice Mary               Spon: Bartholemew Vaughan, Mary Ellen Johnson,
Mar 1882    Catherine                Spon: Patrick O Connor, Ellen Moynahan.
and of course
Mar 1885    David Joseph          Spon: Edward Kennedy, Catherine Kennedy.

May could be either Mary J or Alice Mary.
Presuming one of them died young as they are to unknown to you?
Couldn't find a death for an Alice Whelan at a young age in Cork but a Mary Whelan died in Jan-Mar 1878 aged 0, so that's one chance.

Mary Ellen Johnson, seems to be one of Alice's sisters.
B June 1855, Cobh, Spon: Dominic Rohan, Ellen Butten.

Hope this time I've checked carefully....Padraig

Yes Mary Whelan died young. Alice Mary Whelan was called " May " and died in 1970. Catherine  Whelan is known as Kate.
 thanks for the info.
