Hi Jeff,
Yes, I did email Marbry who was kind enough to reply and confirm that it is Danny Reardon in the photograph. He also remembered that Danny's grand-daughter Celia lived with him, which is true - her mother, Danny's daughter Agnes, sadly died young aged just 22 and Celia came to live with my great-grandparents Danny and Jessie.

From family sources I gather that Danny was apparently quite a character - his own grandparents on both sides came to Wales from Cork in the 1840's following the potato famine and he was raised a Catholic. Though he was both intelligent and articulate, he worked as a miner all his life suffering an injury in the mines in Wales as a young man, which scuppered his plans to move to America with his young family. He is remembered as being cantakerous in his old age and refusing to have a radio in the house as he couldn't argue with it!
