Here we are in Swords the home of Fingal County Council.
It would be fantastic if we could tie this photo in some way to the parish registers of the area see – Parish Registers

Take a bow young sharon.corbet for finding a link to the Swords parish register, wherein she found the baptism of one Jacobus Savage, on 5th November 1879 son of Michael Savage & Elenora Connor. Sharon also tells us that Jacobus is in the 1901 census as James Savage a car driver.

It seems that the Savage family has a long and continuing association with Swords.
