Today, a treasure trove of Lennons and Byrnes, along with a Flood, and a Moore! These are all from prints. Now that I have an idea of what several individuals look like, it’s easier to identify them. When we were at Tinnecarrig last summer, I told JL I’d never seen a picture of Thomas and Mary (Byrne) Lennon of Tinnecarrig — his grandparents and my great-grandparents. He kindly shared a digital copy of a photo he has. Today I discovered I have some photos of them, too!
I’ve started putting maiden names into parentheses, for clarity. I’ll go back and change past posts for consistency.
Again, any help in identifying unknown individuals is greatly appreciated.
Enjoy,
Sioban

Many thanks to my cousin, ML for identification of and information about 131.1_P_BW_FFT, above:
“Taken in Aunt Cissie’s house in Charlefield, The Rower, Co. Kilkenny (near New Ross).
Mother’s [Annie (Cummins) Lennon, m. James “Jimmy” Lennon] only sister, Cissie (Cummins) Grace, m. Mick Grace. Family Mary Grace Stevenson lives in Sydney and John who lives on farm in Charlefield. John was 70 recently.
Always a great connection between our family and theirs. Mother and Cissie wrote to one another every week. I spent most of my summer holidays from Primary School with them.”
