This week, John Teahan has shared with us a wonderful collection of old photos of Milltown and its residents from the surrounding area. If you are an emigrant native of Milltown or Castlemaine or a descendant of a Kerry emigrant from those parts, you will find a fascinating set of images portraying another world in another time … and not really that long ago.
I am just giving you a flavour of the images here. If you have a special interest in these pictures, you should log on to the iCloud account where John has uploaded the entire collection. Here also you will find a lot of cases, the names of the those who appear in the photos.

the images
I enjoyed examining this exhibit . Only noticed one Lenihan photo and none from the White families They lived closer to Castlemaine than Milltown .These were the families of my great Grandmother .Many family menbers had already moved on to the States in the 19th century .It would be sad yet interesting to learn how many of those boys lost their lives in the great war which closely folllowed the timing of some of these photographic memotres .
