Best Answer

In the 1950s, families in Ireland were doing fairly well. Children usually started working in their teens and rarely finished high school, though. Money was still tight, and children passed clothes down and shared toys. Polio and TB were feared.

How can I make sure I'm Irish?

You would need to know some things and answer the following questions: Were you born in Ireland? Are your parents or grandparents Irish (that is having been born in Ireland)? Do you have an Irish passport? If you can answer yes to these, you could have some claim to being Irish. If you have ancestors going back several generations that were Irish, then they were Irish, but you would just be of Irish descent. If you were born in a country other than Ireland, and have lived there all your life, then you are of that nationality first and foremost, with possibly some Irish ancestry.
