    have you looked at the 1901 and 1911 census? Not sure where the old connaught avenue graveyard is - the Bray churches may have records and you could probably get help from the Bray Cualann historical society and the Bray Library and Henry Kearns at the town hall bookshop

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
