jawnbcThis is one of my favourite photos. It captures Da and 6 of his 7 siblings, along with Nanny and Pop (Brenda would be born another 4 years or so later).
Rear: Una, Ethna, Desi (in Ethna's lap), Pop, Kevin (in Pop's lap), Nanny
Front: Berna, Paddy (Da), Eileen
In birth order it would be: Ethna, Paddy, Una, Berna, Eileen, Kevin, Desi. All but Kevin and Desi were around 18 months apart; there's a 3 year gap between the last 2 boys. Given that Nanny was 26 when she had Ethna, Nanny was around 40 in this photo. She's 99 now. Notice Una's skinned knee and all the boys Mr Potato Head ears.
Here's the complete family--with Brenda--about 20 years ago:
Rear: Ethna, Kevin, Desi, Paddy, Una, Pop
Front: Nanny, Eileen, Berna, Brenda
I'm pretty sure this was Nanny and Pop's 50th party. Notice how Ethna and Berna are almost as tall as Da and Uncle Kevin? Pop, Ethna, Desi and Brenda are all gone now...
