Baby Hanna Quinlan, known as Baby from Great William O'Brien Street who inherited the title from her grandmother, as she was the eldest of a large family, a bit of Cork idiosyncrasy which scurvies to this day. She is wearing a straw hat decorated with carnations and a veil and completed with an attractive scarf and decorative fan during their Easter bonnets on parade in the Blackpool Care for the Aged club in the Assumption Convent.
