“Thomas Cryan from Boyle, Co. Roscommon. He was twenty-three years old when this photograph was taken. He had immigrated to England when he was twenty-one years old and this was his first visit home. He was considering emigrating from England to Australia at the time. Hence, he was home to visit his family. However, upon returning to England, he decided to remain there and ultimately established his own business. He lived in England for a further thirty-eight years and returned to live in Ireland when he retired. ”
