The O'Neill Wedding 1935
 | The O'Neill Wedding 1935 - Family Album
John O'Neill married Winnie Traynor whilst they were away in London working. He worked for Ford's Motor Company, she as a maid in a rich London home. The ceremony was performed by Fr John Heenan - later Cardinal Heenan - who played football alongside John in the local Soccer Team. He tried to protect Fr Heenan after he'd suffered a particularly nasty scithing tackle from a ginger-haired bully. He was quite prepared to lay into him after the game - until he saw the big smile on ginger's face as he put on HIS dog collar. He was also a priest and knew Fr Heenan well. |

Mick Meskill & Mary Ann Reynolds Wedding of 1937
 | Mick Meskill & Mary Ann Reynolds 1937 - courtesy of Eugene McElvaney
I was sent this photo some time back, of Michael Meskill and Mary Ann Reynolds wedding in 1937. My uncle Henry McElvaney is the best man. I'm afraid I don't know any of the others, but I'm sure some of your Grangetown readers will recognise the faces. It could be worth placing on your excellent website. Good luck,
Eugene
