| Description: |
Jean was born in Cork in 1927 and lived mostly in Tivoli in a big 4 bedroom house with her 2 brothers and 1 sister. Her parents were English and came to Ireland in the early 1920s. Her father worked as a zoologist at UCC and the family would spend Easter and Summer holidays in West Cork where he would conduct research. There they saw a different side to life - poverty that they did not see or experience in the city. Jean's mother did not work outside of the home due to class and gender restrictions of the time.
