Family Picture - Who's who

Hi folks, I tried to get in here to answer, at the time I saw the photo, but couldn’t figure out how to respond in the blog. I DO know who all these people are . Between my aunt Margaret and Nance O’Brien I heard all about who was who many times. This photograph was taken in 1888 . I want to start by saying that the older woman(2nd from the right) was my great grandmother (my dad's grandmother) her name was Mary (McMahon) Sullivan. She married James Sullivan. They were both born in Ireland and arrived in Hamilton Ont. in 1852. They were from Tralee in the County of Kerry. He died shortly before this picture was taken. They had 5 children and that’s who the rest of these people are. Beginning on the left is my grandmother (my dad's Mother) who was born in 1866 and died in 1956. Her name was Catherine Sullivan referred to as Kitty. She married my grandfather John Ford. They had 7 children. James, Dan, Ed (my dad…father of the15), Mary Burjaw, Margaret, John Ambrose (Bud), and Hug
