Were you or your mother working at the restaurant in the 1940's or 50's?

Elsie was actually born in Scotland, but her father and the rest of the family were from Barga, Italy.  There are still a lot of Togneri's in Barga.

Oh, your fish and chips place was in Carrickfergus.  My grandfather's place was in Scotland and/or Belfast.  I don't think my mother was ever in Ireland, just Northern Ireland and Scotland.
