Thanks Mersey. I was just curious about the photo.

Maybe the more serious members on genealogy chat would be interested.

I was fascinated by how they tracked him down even to coming from Dublin.....

I have googled it as well..........

Amazing technology!... there's been a lot of info. recently
about 3D imaging and manufacture of actual items.

The mind boggles at what will be discovered next.

Mau, I thought the photo looks to be 1940s too. Apart from hair and clothes (did men wear singlets pre 1917?) it seems far to casual and intimate for the period.

The woman´s hairstyle looks distinctly 1940s/50s.
I remember my parents looking exactly like that & I wasn´t born until 1945.
Mind you, this was Canada was it?
Maybe they were way ahead of us.

The article says he grew up in Dublin.
