Joseph and Francis Whelan are my uncles. I would like to know who put their two memorial cards/photographs side by side. It was a nice touch. I’ve not seen a photo of Joseph before.
I would appreciate any further information about these brothers.
Thank you James. We have dropped you a note with details.
