My father Melvin (Philip) Seymour is the Blond lad sitting behind the ball and my Grandfather shown as Philip Seymour in the picture is behind my father and a great Uncle shown in the picture with no first name is in the back row, my great Uncles name was 'Bertie'. It is my understanding they lived on the Dublin road at the time. Posted by Tony Seymour living in England but known to a few in Graigue and Carlow and New York and beyond!

Footnote from Peter Walker c2008:

I remember Babby Walker as Babby Ayres, her husband was my uncle Ned Walker. They lived on the Maryborough Road in Graiguecullen. I have discovered that his Grandfather was Tom Walker who was married to a Haughney. Do any Haughney's know of her family? I lived on Pollerton Road a few houses from Ned Haughney who owned the Coal yard near the Guy Brennan's Forge and never knew we might have been related.  Garry has passed away R.I.P. I went to the "Tech" with Noel Salter, John Joe Farrell works in Hydrohoist on O'Brien road.
