Faces, before and after

From this and also the @NLIreland original (catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000…) it seems that the grandmother may have been blind in one eye

Old Ireland in Colour
@irelandincolour
Our next photograph is from quite a while back, the 19th century in fact!

Let's see if you can figure out the year...
It was the year that Doc Holliday, American gambler, gunfighter, and dentist, died.
In this year, E. Schrödinger, Austrian-Irish physicist, was born.

[He of the thought experiment "Schrödinger's cat". The experiment represents a state known as a quantum superposition. It is presented in the form of a cat in a box that may be simultaneously both alive and dead.]

@TomCreanBook Okay, so your premise is that the father made a mistake about the date of birth in this case. That is possible, even though it was a relatively short period of time since either baptism/birth. It is also possible that the priest did not record the date correctly.

Let me explain!
@TomCreanBook Firstly, if you look at the page where Tom Crean's birth is recorded and the subsequent page, it is all out of sequence, which indicates baptisms were not recorded on the dates they happened.

If we start in February, the month Tom was born, this is the recorded order of dates...
