The wedding record of James O'Connell (Swansea) and Margaret McCormack (Sallypark) on 28th August 1946. Witnesses John McCormack, Elizabeth McCormack, could be the best man and bridesmaid.

‘Sally Park’ appears to have vanished,

Elizabeth is a younger sister, born 1921 also at 7 Sallypark, recorded here.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/ The description of the groom as “worker” is singularly uninformative.

If John is a brother, I think he must be younger again, and not seen in the records thanks to the 100 year rule.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] It seems as though Sallypark was a little community located near the railway station that seems to have been demolished at some stage. The 25" OS map shows a street with houses on both sides & an RIC barracks, but the location now seems to only be the R448 Road & some industrial buildings. Maybe someone with a better knowledge of Waterford history can tell us about what happened to this community.
Niall McAuley
Searching the 1911 census for Townland/street "Newrath Road" finds 373 people, and I count 80 railway workers (there is also an RIC barracks at #66). Browse here.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/gnmcauley I sorted that list by age & it was a very young community - Approx 100 under 11s, another 100 between about 11 & 24, the next 100 sorted by age bring you up to age 42 and only about 30 or 35 in the over 60 age group.

Sallypark seems to have been demolished around the year 2000 See this picture: www.geograph.ie/photo/1013031 and this monument: www.geograph.ie/photo/4684211

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/bernardhealy] Daniel Jr. died of TB aged 34, so born in 1918? I don't see a birth record. Here he is getting married to Catherine Mary Morrissey in 1943, just 3 years before this picture - so the children in front are not his. He was also a railway worker, a CIE ticket inspector.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/ There is a sister Esther as well, married to Jack Furlong. I can’t find her birth or marriage record. Maybe the family lived in Britain for a while.
