Jamesbtx - my aunty, Margaret 'Peggy' Cullen - married an Alfie Brown, He had a brother called Fanna. Alfie and Peggy lived in the prefabs then moved to Hollymount Square. Don't know if this is any good to you. If it is I'll dig out some photos for you.

Yes my dad does know someone called Alfie brown. That would be great if you could show me some photos, me and my dad would love it

I'll hunt them out as soon as I can, James, hope they will be some help.
