As you will have probably gathered I have been sorting through some old pictures over the last few days. (Thus the last three entries)

This picture of a beautiful girl is of Sile’s Great Grandmother, Teresa Brady, who married in New Ross where the maternal side of Sile’s family came from.
It is a haunting portrait, she looks so wistful, and surely her hair is cut short, unusual in the 1870’s or 80’s when I guess this was taken.
We know very little about her.
On the back of the photo it says Teresa Brady née Archbold.
The photographer was “Lauder Bros.” of 45 Lower Sackville Street Dublin.
We also know that her daughter Winifred married a Kennedy from New Ross who was to become Sile’ grandmother.

But I now know where Sile got her looks.
