Item MM 111054 Digital Photograph - Lena Kelly Passport Photographs, circa 1925

Summary

Digital photograph, three joined passport photographs of Lena Kelly, in the mid 1920s.
According to her family, Lena lived with her three sisters at 59 St Georges Rd Elsternwick, and never married. She worked in the Tax Office.
These look like passport photographs, but as far as the family know she never travelled. The family remembers: 'Groups of sisters like these were very common in Irish Catholic families, they were limited to Irish Catholic boys to marry and many men had died in World War I. However, they appear to have led quite active and interesting lives, defying the stereotype of the 'maiden aunt'.'
