In 2008, thanks to the
BBC Radio Northern Ireland and the internet, we learned the identities
of six of the children we are looking for in Derry (Londonderry),
Northern Ireland.

Background

I took
the pictures seen below over 30
years ago. At the time I was a news and current affairs producer with
the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation based in London, England. I had
been sent to Derry to prepare a television report on the aftermath of
"Bloody Sunday". That was the day British paratroopers killed 13
Catholic protesters taking part in a peaceful demonstration. My plan is
to find these children, most of whom would now be in their late and 30s
and 40s and interview them for a a possible documentary. What has happened to them over the years? How
many still live in Derry? How were their lives affected by the violence? If you
are one of the people in these pictures, or know who they are, I would
appreciate hearing from you
Hopefully
I would like to do an audio or video interview (via Skype) with each
person I find and post it on this site.

We
received an e-mail message indentifying
these boys as the McDaid brothers.
There mother still lives on Abbot's Walk.
