26 @ 62 Irishtown

The 1926 census in 62 Irishtown: who were the people in the house at 62 that evening in 1926? What were their stories?

The Census of Ireland for 1926 was recently put online. This was the first official census by the Irish Government since independence. The house I live in, was born in, is at 62 Irishtown where I spent the first thirteen years of my life & the last twenty six since returning to Clonmel in 1990.

There were two large framed, black & white photographs hanging in the kitchen. One was of a young girl in a white dress, portrait pose ,the other was of a seated, full bearded elderly man with a young boy of about twelve standing by his side. His confirmation medal hung from his worsted jacket.

Who were the people in the house at 62 that evening in 1926? What were their stories?

A small group of people are invited to visit my home from 11.00 on the morning of the 13th of August. This is on a trial basis  & will be repeated at the same time on the 20th and 27th of August.

There is no charge & will last 40 to 45 minutes.
