Wedgwood
Background
Another batch of scanning from Mary Lennon - Wedgwood
Another set with which mentions places with which I have some prior familiarity.
Comments
While Wedgwood is a rare surname, albeit well known, there are surprisingly few on the 1901 and 1911 Irish census and only one family grouping to speak of. The family is of English origins but they have clearly resided in both Dublin and Belfast.
Poetic Reference
Macauley, Horatius, Stanza 36
"Horatius" is a poem by Thomas (Lord) Macaulay. What does stanza 36 say ?
The Three stood calm and silent, And looked upon the foes,And a great shout of laughter From all the vanguard rose...
The sender- likely one of the Wedgwood brothers pictured - knew his poetry!
Clarinda School
This is in Dun Laoghaire (formerly Kingston).
1 Crosthwaite Terrace, Ffolliott sisters, Boarding & Day-school for Young Ladies
Seems to have been around from 1895 to 1905, a Clarinda Park School emerges but with a different head and in a different location
