BF125 "Daddy, Uncle Michael 1936"

More likely 1935
since Daddy Rogan died
in January 1936.

It looks like the back of
36 Amulree Place
and it looks like the builders
haven't quite finished.

 


William Rogan and Family

All that I can deduce from these photos is that William went to America, married Mary in the early 1930s, and they had a daughter Mary Theresa.

Cecilia (Cissie) Rogan

Cissie was a teacher, she went to America (New York), and every so often a bundle of comic sections from the New York Sunday papers would appear in Amulree Place.

"This one in the back garden. I am terrible staid but have lost five pound since it was taken a few months ago."
 
"Taken at the front door."

Probably taken in New York.

This was filed under 1950
but Cissie (Ceal) died in February, 1961.

 


Daniel Rogan and Family

Dan Rogan married Jean Docherty on August 26 1931 in the church of the Immaculate Conception, Maryhill. The witnesses were his cousins, Dan Mullen and Mary Colvin.
