    3. May be of interest to someone on the list: I note that in #2 issue of "Irish Roots" magazine, there appears an old photograph taken in Cork around the turn of the last century. There is a large white horse about to pull a carriage with two men and a little child, looks to be a little boy. They are well dressed. In the background is a large sign that reads: "D. O'Leary, Undertaker, 14 Pine St. & Blackpool-Bridge, Cars and Carriages for Hire." The name of the photographer does not appear on the photograph nor the date. Per the magazine, the most obvious starting point in identifying the photograph is the name and address on the sign in the background, and Cork City directories could be used to find out when that enterprise was in operation. The style of clothing dates it to approximately 1900. Can anyone verify the address as Cork for me?
