Daniel (head of the family pictured) was the only 1 out of 8 siblings in Doonbeg, by the census. The others were in England or Chicago. Indeed Daniel was a 'returned Yank', having lived in Chicago for a while before returning home to run a shop.
So sad, all the young people moving away.
Superb job by the National Archives of Ireland 🇮🇪
Free and swift access to the 1926 census. I expected the site to crash or run slow, but it's been seamless #IrishCensus1926
First trip today to the new Waterfront cafe at Rother Valley. Superb job, well done Rotherham Borough for their continued investment. If I recall, it was supposed to be a joint project with Derbyshire and Sheffield , but both pulled out leaving Rotherham holding the can
View from South Street this afternoon. Despite the ever changing skyline, the Town Hall and St Maries still peeping through. Big picnic going off on the amphitheatre #Sheffield

😬 what a nightmare
Disgracefully, tonight was my first visit to the Lyceum. My big brother saw the Human League there in '81. Anyone else out there with memories of it as a music venue ? #Sheffield
I'm at the Lyceum for Fawlty Towers, so had a 2nd go at matching this picture up 🎬
How bizarre. When I was a teenager our bus used to along Suffolk Road. There was a yard near the Leadmill with what looked like a model T Ford rusting away in the corner. Always used to make me think of Laurel and Hardy.
On Shude Hill, under the Commercial Street Bridge is the one time entrance to the Barrow Boy pub #Sheffield

Canal path proper closed between Cadman Street and Bacon Lane , due to tow path collapse. Can't see that being a quick fix, it's had fencing up for months, but people kept throwing it in the canal and going through. There's is a diversion in place, it's just not very nice #Sheffield

Shell of The Theatre Royal, Tudor Street at junction of Arundel Street, after the fire which destroyed it (1935).
Built in 1773 on the site of The Assembly Rooms. Greatly enlarged in 1880 and in 1898 partly reconstructed. Lyceum Theatre, left #Sheffield
How have I never watched the Ipcress File before, what a fantastic film.
Today's walk took us up Win Hill, always rewarding in a nice day with these stunning views.
The World Snooker Championship will remain at the Crucible until 2045
This will be achieved by building a new in-the-round configuration with over 500 additional seats.
The new long-term deal at the theatre also includes an option to extend it to 2050. Great news for #Sheffield
Absolutely
Work has started on a buy to let apartment scheme on Nursery Street. Around 270 homes will eventually be completed on the project. Well placed with the riverside and close to both town and Kelham. Also has to be a ripple out effect around Lady's Bridge and Wicker #Sheffield
Good morning #Sheffield 🏡
A sculpture of a coin being tossed to celebrate Sheffield being the birthplace of football.
Unveiled last Friday to celebrate Sheffield being the birthplace of football. The Central Library is in the background - come and visit. We have lots to see including a theatre in the basement and an art gallery on the top floor. Oh, and lots of books!
Fox House Inn, Hathersage Road. Dated 1690 in one room. Originally a farmhouse, rebuilt in Tudor style by the then Duke of Rutland at the time of the building of Longshaw Lodge. Top photo 1880's. Bottom picture from yesterday's walk😊 #Sheffield
Let's get behind this, I think we are in with a fantastic chance. Not only do we have a great musical heritage, but the city is revitalised and new projects like Harmony Works will be delivered by 2029 #Sheffield
And Sheffield
Absolutely stunning out there today. View towards Higger Tor and Carl Wark 😍
I used to work at the Our Price in there. I got 9 months out of one parking ticket, then got caught twice in a month 🙃
It's stunning 😍
