That's very interesting hanes tuelu.  Thank you.  I've looked the location up on Google StreetView but I don't think the shop exists now.  Seems to have been at the junction of Pearse Street and Macken Street in Dublin, but I'm wondering if it might now be what is a Chinese/Thai restaurant called Starry Night .... ?

Hi Sinann and hanes teulu

Thank you both very much for your replies.  Yes, the obit I have is indeed the one from the Irish Independent in Oct 1992, but I don't have the death notice you referred to, Sinnan - would you kindly be able to direct me to where I might find that one?

Much obliged

Dublin / Helen's Corner Shop, Portmarnock, Dublin

Hi Rootschatters

Researching the Kearney branch of my family tree, who lived in Dublin, I have come across the obituary of a second cousin by the name of Kevin Williams who died in 1992 (living in Portmarnock), which references wishes sent to his family by the "customers of Helen's Corner Shop" (I'm thinking this is also in Portmarnock).

I'm just wondering if they were Kevin Williams' customers and if he was the proprietor of the said corner shop.

Is anyone familiar with Helen's Corner Shop, or Kevin Williams.  I've tried to find information on the business, but to no avail.

Any input would be most welcome.

Regards

Oh Wow!!!  Thank you so much loord74!  That's absolutely amazing!  My Aunt Sheila was married in a suit because of the wartime clothes rationing shortages, and she looks fantastic.  Can't wait to show my family.

So much appreciated. Thank you again!

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Restoration of Photo - Dublin 1941

Hi Rootschatters

I wondered if anyone could kindly tidy up/refresh this beloved picture of my late parents (right of the picture) as guests standing next to my mother's sister and her groom outside the bride's family home in Fairview, Dublin, on their wedding day in August 1941.

Everyone pictured is now sadly deceased but this remains a very treasured picture for the family.

Colourisation is also welcome, if possible, but any restoration and enhancement would be gratefully received.

Many thanks

Hi Milliepede

Thank you for your reply.  It looks like the club unfortunately went into liquidation in January this year.

Regards
