This picture shows my great-grandmother, Mrs Margaret Hutton (née Murphy), who was born in the first year of the Great Famine (1845), as a very old lady. Three of her daughters are also in the photo which was taken at her home in Hacketstown. The daughters in the picture are Mary, wife of Dan Keogh of Baltinglass, co Wicklow (seated), Maddie (standing left) and Nell (standing right). Although it is difficult to see, there is a perky black and white terrier sitting on the table to the left of Nell.
