Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Hurling Team 1930s

It might be worth contacting Waterford Libraries to ask are the actual physical newspapers kept  somewhere.
I notice the British News Archive have clearer images that the Irish News Archives, but their Waterford Star coverage finishes in 1920.

Do you know is it from a newspaper? I might be able to find a better version. What team is it?

It really could do with being rescanned at as high a DPI as possible, as the file is very small. Do you still have the original?

There was a Holy Faith Secondary School in Dominic Street until some time in the early 1980's.

I believe it was called Our Lady Of The Rosary school.
I would imagine the Holy Faith sisters might have more info.
Worth an email anyway holyfaitharchives@gmail.com

Laois (Queens) / Re: Liberty, a place? in Co Laois

Borris is a different place to Borris in Ossory though. Different county.

As to 'Liberty' if you pick other entries from the baptismal registers and follow the children through, most end up using Sentry Hill as an address.
Many of the families are still there in 1901: https://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Queen_s_Co_/Borris_in_Ossory/Sentry_Hill/

What parish is it? Looking to get a look at a bigger sample of the priest's writing.

You could probably put in a request to the National Archives for information on his burial from the hospital.

This is the text of the death notice from the 'Irish Independent' of 1st April, 1959. Is it the same person? She was listed as a spinster on the death record.

TOBIN (Windy Arbour) - March 31,
1959, at St. Vincent's Hospital,
Kathleen, daughter of the late William
and Catherine Tobin, late of 289
Farranboley, Windy Arbour, to the in-
expressible grief of her brothers and
sisters. R.I.P. Remains will be removed
this (Wednesday) evening at 5 o'c.
to Church of the Miraculous Medal,
Clonskeagh. Funeral after 10 o'c. Mass
tomorrow (Thursday) to Mount Jerome
cemetery.

Your Kitty is the death on 20th December. I will see is there a notice.
**edit*** not seeing one, sorry. She is probably with her husband, wherever he is.
