Thank you, I've never seen those pictures.
Re Jim Brophy, he married Mary McManus in 1923. She is originally from Dublin - and clearly from around the same area as the Brophys as she was born in the Rotunda Hospital. Her mother interestingly was born in India so whether her father in turn was working there I'm not sure. Mary was very devout I recall, and again I recall as a child she was an extremely kind person.
I've tried posting the pics - the pic I mentioned of Laurence, standing on the step of Stananought Street and a group picture shows Laurence in the front row - the one with very dark hair and the long work apron. Jim is in the very top row of - the one of two people; he is on the right. You may recognise other Brophys in the pic? However even just putting one photo only on the posting it won't let me do so saying it's 'too large'.
