1938 Caldervale Children, shared by H Reilly
This photo was taken in 1938 at Caldervale, or as you may know it, Finmeoot.
Shared here by Helen Reilly with the following comments, “Here are some of the kids from Finmeoot. Probably taken around 1938 ish. My aunt Ann Doyle and her cousin are in photo.”
I’ve no idea how that wee boy is managing to balance on the window ledge, but its nice to see an older picture like this with at least a few smiles amongst them!
On social media:
Suzanne Logue David Mitchell can you show Anne Marie this pic? I’ve seen it before. I think Gran or one of her sisters is in this? Maybe the one holding the baby? x
Suzanne Logue No she’s holding a doll haha!
David Mitchell The one holding the doll is Ina and Sonny is the wee boy on the left
Hello, does anyone know anything about my family who once lived here. They are the Doyle family. My dad was Bernard, and he had sisters named Catherine (known as Katie) and Ann. His mum was named Mary. I believe he had an older brother too, who died. Ann had a son called David McGinty, who sadly drowned when he was young in the area. Trying to put together some information for my own grandchildren now.
The McGinty’s from this area are my relatives. My Great Grandfather William McGinty was born there, his parents were James McGinty and Elizabeth Henderson, after his father passed away he was adopted my Elizabeth’s new husband William Wilson. I would appreciate if anyone who has any information or photos of the family would get in touch x
