I think a relation of our Phil Murray would be a distinct possibility as it doers look like he would age i think, the one massive difference is the large hooked nose.
He coulda broke his nose a few times over the years but i cant see how it coulda ended up that hooked downwards.

Phil's nephew and namesake Phil Murray in 1936. Big family resemblance to the 1891 Phil or am I talking myself into it?

Just noticed this from a earlier thread fae VT, http://celticgraves.com/topic/9213912/1/ - Tall Hardy certainly fits the bill.

Mike Dolan - " . . a tall, hardy looking chap from Coatbridge, who, while a real Celt at heart, did not just fit in with that first class team we had recruited . . ."

Good observation Tollcross, that particular description crossed my mind as well in relation to his stature in the 13-1 team photograph. :clap:

I think when you put it all the gither its almost certain to be Michael Dolan

From the way he fits into the line-up, near positive ID from the relative and his size etc, he also looks like the goalie with only big Hammy at the back being taller.

Brilliant work yir doing slap up and no doubt we will all meet up at the ceremony, Beers are oan the Committee :wink:

I have been canvassing in Coatbridge for living descendants of Michael Dolan, via the letters page of the local rag and the facebook page of The St Patrick's Day Festival Coatbridge.

Following the letter in the paper, almost two weeks ago, I was contacted by a woman whose husband is the great grandson of Frank Dolan. They also keep in touch with elderly relatives in Canada who are also descended from Michael. I sent her the pic of the 13-1 team, with the suggested postioning of Michael Dolan in the line up. Having showed it to her husband and family here is her response:

" got your pictures of michael dolan which is the double of my husbands uncle frank ( not the same Frank, as in Michael's brother, I would imagine). He is the true michael dolan. sent the photos over to canada where the last of this relations live. thanks again. We will be at the graveyard. is there a time please advise thanks again evelyn "

Another branch of the Dolans have also came forward and at least 6 of them will be at Old Monkland cemetery on the 18th March. Likewise I've asked for photos if possible and also knwledge of where they came from in Ireland would be good.
