The boys' great great great uncle was a famous inventor!

Today we went to the Ulster Transport and Folk museum where cousin Suzanne works as an archeologist. They have replicas of shops and buildings showing Ireland's history. They have a replica of Zeke and Luan's great great great uncle's shop. His name was Thomas Edens Osborne and he, with the help of his close friend 'Dunlop', invented the blow up tyre for bikes!!

  1. Hi Louisa. I came across this accidently. TE Osborne was my great grandfather and my mum's father was his son TE Osborne junior! If you want a picture of him please email me at angcor2@btinternet.com . I have the photo of the shop on my mobile as wallpaper.
    Best wishes
