Very few cars, so you could kick a ball and play tennis.

This is the house she left and never came back to.

Elizabeth came from a family of ten.

Her mother and father had eight children, four boys and four girls.

Elizabeth was a middle child and everyone had to fit into this two-bedroom cottage in Ringsend.

Very simple, boys' rooms and girls' rooms.

Their parents slept on a pull-out bed in the living room.

Eddie was the eldest boy in the family, Elizabeth's big brother, and he had to move out when the younger ones came up.

And Thomas was Elizabeth's little brother.

The other siblings were Liam, Sean and Joan, the eldest sister and the first to get married when Elizabeth was 15.

We have lovely pictures of us all at the wedding across the road there in the church.

Bernie and I are flower girls, Liz's bridesmaid.

She was the chief.

She was like maid of honour.

Very happy times.

If you look across the Irish Sea from Ringsend on a fine day, you might just make out the northwest of England.

This is where the two men who would take Elizabeth's life came from.

J.S.

and G.E., as Elizabeth's sisters call them.

They can't even say their names still.
