  • that's my grandparents at 3:54 ! Grandpa Tommy Doyle in the top hat, and Nana Moira Doyle in the red hat (having a sneaky smoke!)

    cool!

  • This is John Paget Bourke, the lady you see first is Margaret Bourke.

  • @jpbourke Superb! Thanks so much! I've made contact with the family through my mum, so a DVD will be winging its way to you soon - nearly fifty years late! I'll be taking this video down soon, as that's been requested by the bride.

    Thanks again to everyone for commenting and helping to find the happy couple!

  • The red haired groomsman is, I think, John Paget Bourke, former director of Bank of Ireland. His son Jay Bourke is in the restaurant business in Dublin

  • Did you ever find the owners?

  • this is definitely Donnybrook church I lived in Beech hill which is just past the bus garage do not recognise anyone probably from the other side of the tracks

  • Thanks Ben, I found Pappa. Lotte

  • they flew out to a honeymoon abroad! back in the mid-sixties! the couple must have been loaded with money.

  • I think Joan Flynn is the current owner of the Downshire House Hotel in Blessington (which closed a couple of years ago). She might have records going back to 62/63.

  • this church looks like st.agnes in crumlin village dubin..???

  • Hi,

    I made out another reg which is TZC which is at least 1962 if not 1963. Nice film, fascinating. It is beautifully composed.

  • If you can make out the car registrations ie license plate, (the limo seems to be ZO 885 or ZD 885), you can correlate the year to that number. At least you would know the minimum age of the film. It looks like early sixties to me. I lived near there then.

  • The limo's registration plate looks like IZD 885 to me. Anyway, a Ford Taurus crosses the road, which leads me to believe the film was shot in 1963.

  • Great film, very high quality for the period, looks professionally shot... What makes you think of O'Kennedy-Brindley? Have you contacted anyone at Brindley, which is still in existence?

  • Theres no local TV news in Ireland. Too small!

  • Hi seftonwallet -

    No, I didn't think of that! What a great idea. I'll check it out.

    cheers

    Ben

  • Ben,

    How did you find the film?

    Regards,

    Kevin

  • Have you contacted RTE? I think their Dublin offices are in Donnybrook. I'm guessing they would be interested in helping trace the couple as it would make a nice local TV feature for the local news.
