Thanks for the help Christina. I have subscribed to the Vintage Photos list and have found a wealth of information about the photos in question and several others. Sorry my thanks are late in arriving. My granddaughter is leaving for college this week and I promised to finish the quilt for her room. She's also one of the reasons I do genealogy. Every fact I gather is duly recorded to be passed onto future generations. People like Christine, and many others on this list, enable me to find answers to family mysteries. Again, sincere thanks.

I am hoping that someone may have in their possession or know of, an old photo of the large house that was the home of the Augustinian Friars at the Abbey, Fethard, Co. Tipp. between about 1865 and 1951 when it was declared unsafe and demolished. The house was set back some distance from, and faced, the current Abbey rather than facing on to Abbey Rd and was arrived at via a long driveway that went past the Abbey gates. It was the home of my great great great grandfather, William Latham and his wife Jane from about 1820 to about the time of Griffith's Valuation c early 1850s. My great great grandfather who later came to Australia was born in that house in 1826. Between 1820 and 1830, William restored rightful ownership of the current Abbey church back to the Friars. I have contacted Father Houghey the current Prior who has a very faded photo of the now demolished house, that he is going to try to get copied for me. I am hoping that someone else may also have a photo or know of one that I may be able to get copied. Hope a photo is out there somewhere! Thanks Wendy
