Damn what's the Family name? Because few of them look like some of my cousins. Could be related to these people

All one family?? I'm having a hard time identifying the father. And I don't understand how this is possible.

Irish Travellers marry quite early, and probably especially more so during 1950s.

I'm thinking this is like a few siblings, each with their own kids?
