Mum says that is Pearl Smith, she was in another photo I posted before with my mum and some others up the newtown road in Rostrevor that got lost somewhere, I'll see if I can find it again.

Is that the same girl who is dancing with Flo Gilmore in the pic.which baffled us all?

northbrook I wouldn't say Mary (nurse)Rowland was in the pic,can't see anyone that resembles her. ;--)

That is the girl Eugene, I had an notion she was called Smith, that`s why I asked Cardor (Carol Smith) to help us out on that one, but she didn`t know her either, let`s hope we have cracked it this time. Obviously not the same family as Gordon and Carol........................

Pearl Smith would be an aunt of Mervyn Smith who plays in the point Silver band. I have found the photograph I mentioned above, I'll edit a link in once I post it.

Just goes to show!!..and you were in the right direction at that time with Smith...Canadian Mounties would have nothing on us!!

northbrook · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 5:44 pm

Absolutely Eugene........... must show this to my cousin from Kingston Ontario who was a Mountie, we might get a job.

Brian · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 6:01 pm

Slight correction - Pearl is the aunt of Mervyn Smith who pays in the point Silver band. :bad computer:

northbrook · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 6:47 pm

Is Mervyn related to Gordon ???.............son ???...............where does Carol fit into the picture ?

this puzzle is not solved yet....................................

Brian, would you ask her to look at the picture with Florrie to see if that is the same girl..........................

Brian · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 10:09 pm

This one?

http://www.oldwarrenpointforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1891

I'll ask tomorrow.

Brian · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 10:13 pm

In the meantime, does this help?

northbrook · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 10:18 pm

Looks the same girl to me, the only thing that`s throwing me off is that Carol Smith didn`t recognise her...........

bornandbred · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 12:32 pm

.........& back to the photograph - is that Mr Ball (dentist) at left back?

Is that a McNellis at the top right hand side?

B&B,

Thank you for posting the photos. Lovely to meet you again on Sunday -a great evening. I think that Wendy Tate's mother is Babs Williamson featured in the pictures. Wendy came on Sunday evening,she now lives in Texas.

I think that's a question for Mrs E Walker's mum.......will you ask her who & where, E ???

That's what I thought too xpaddy, I think it's Herbie.

dukestreet · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 9:58 pm

Would that be Herbie McNellis in the top right hand corner, and Dessie Holmes at the very front?
Would that be Dominic O'Hare half hidden by Mrs. Murray? :cheers:

B&B,

We are not sure of the actual place but Mum thinks it may have been Sheila Leathem's house probably in the mid 1950's. A party for the Warrenpoint Badminton Club. Is Sheila in the picture?

northbrook · **Posted:** Thu Jul 17, 2008 5:02 pm

I knew Sheila well and because of her association with Liam Gilmore I was sure she would be in that pic., it`s possible she may have taken the photo.
