Hmmm, I'm supposed to be good at maths, so why was I thinking he was 18 in 1911! lol *checks fingers and toes*

[Merry]

Gutted!

As a surprise for OH I contacted the National Archives of Ireland about the photos they have of inmates of Mountjoy Prison, asking them to see if they had any photos of David or Margaret (and to check the various aliases etc!).

Sadly, after checking the index of names for the period 1900-1920, they said "Sorry, no"

[kiterunner]

That's a shame, but at least you got a reply! (I never did hear back from the Kilmainham Gaol archivist about whether they had any info about my relatives.)

[ElizabethHerts]

What a shame, Merry. However, from knowing zilch about JCH/DH, you now know a lot more, and about Mum too. The physical descriptions you have had are amazing.

[Mary from Italy]

What a pity. Did you think to ask if they had any photos of Cork prisoners?

[Merry]

No! lol

I was so certain they would have something in the Mountjoy records it didn't occur to me

lol Thanks Mary! I was looking at them yesterday without realising they are new.

We are waiting for the first few certificates to arrive at the moment.

Someone on Rootschat found this possible for David Hutton in 1911:

We think the transcript should say Hutton, but the place of birth is wrong, but could be a mistake. If this is someone else then we can't find a birth reg for him as Hutton or Sutton, so there's a good chance it's our David!
