O Mac Ashamed to say I missed the handwriting! Mea culpa. I think the G. is a misreading of the E. on the back.
And date amended to 1906, thanks to your graduation information. -

From Wikipedia - "... On Friday 13 August she was teaching the daughter of Tomas O'Crohan, Cáit, to swim. Despite them only being a few feet from the shore, she and Cáit got into trouble. Cáit's brother, Donal, attempted to save both of them. Another local Peats Tom Ó Cearnaigh came to their aid, but could only save Cáit. Nic Niocaill and Donal drowned. ..."
Is/was Cáit the daughter and Donal the son of this fellow ? ... [https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/24801371188/]

Recorded as Eveleen Constance Nicolls at her birth.
Oddly, as Eibhlín Nic Aonguis in the 1901 census, the only one in the household recorded as Gaeilge.
Record of her death says Evelyn Nicholls, both names wrong, presumably the Jams O'Donnell effect. -
Carol Maddock said:
From her life in the Dictionary of Irish Biography:
In an article in the Freeman's Journal that day (16 August), Pearse called Eibhlín the ‘most nobly planned’ of all the women he had known; later biographers tried to prove a romance between them but there were no contemporary suggestions of this.
Brilliant woman. Should be so much better known. -
Niall McAuley said:
Dónal, who also drowned, is recorded as Daniel Crehan at his death, Daniel Crohan in 1901.
-
Niall McAuley said:
beachcomber australia Yes, the wiki article on Eibhlín says the writer Tomás was Dónal's father.

bobgbennett said:
The soldier on sentry duty in the foreground is from the 1st Battalion the Gloucestershire Regiment, circa 1891. At the time there were subtle differences** between regiments in the exact style of the scarlet “undress” jacket worn, which was called a “home service frock”. It was the style worn by the Gloucestershire Regiment soldier in this photo, along with his shoulder title, collar badge shape, and MH rifle that enabled the identification. The Glosters frock at that time had white shoulder straps only, as evidenced by a Simkin print painted by that famous water colourist and taken from life at that exact same period. Unfortunately, my final post in the link above was missing from Dave’s pdf and so misses out that the Lincolns and SWB were eliminated as their frock did not match, thus confirming the sentry as from the Glosters.
** these related to the exact colour arrangement of the cuffs, the collar and the shoulder straps.
FROGSMILE
4000/1 Why are most of the horses Grey?
- 27 older comments, and then…
-
bobgbennett said:
The reason the horses are grey is because the regiment shown in the photo is the 2nd Dragoons (Royal Scots Greys), a heavy cavalry regiment that uniquely distinguished itself by using exclusively grey horses, but also by wearing a bearskin headdress that gave a similar look to the Foot Guards. Unlike light cavalry such as Hussars, they wore scarlet upper garments, as opposed to blue.
Anyone who has watched the epic 1970s movie “Waterloo”, about the battle of that name, might recall the highly evocative scene depicting the regiment charging successfully initially, but subsequently being badly mauled on blown horses by Polish Lancer regiments fighting for Napoleon.

Swordscookie said:
Finbar Furey the singer went to school there and has a funny story about the place. The family are settled members of the traveller community and lived in south Dublin. While the lads were at school some friend from the music industry visited his father in a beautiful Rolls Royce car and explained that he was setting off to tour Ireland a visit other traditional musicians in their homes. That would involve going up some narrow roads with the grass down the middle and would pose a threat to the paintwork of the Rolls. Mr. Furey proposed loaning them his battered BMW for the trip and the guest left his Rolls for the duration. As it was end of term Mr. Furey went to collect his offspring at Newtown School in a gleaming Rolls Royce. The sight of this well known settled traveller rolling up to collect his family in this symbol of wealth and luxury was a sensation.

Chuck Walla Not sure. They have a lot of aerials of CV from around the time they were building out the campus on the west end of H Street at Bay Blvd. Maybe looking at real estate or just testing planes and camera equipment? Whatever the reasons, I’m glad they did! :-)

Shop names I clearly see McElherans, Stewart, McNeill and McClement. To the street directories!
No McElheran in 1880, 90, 94, appears in 1901.
All names appear in 1901, although only if Miss McClemence is a spelling error. By 1907 McClements is a James, not an M or H as seen here. To the census!
OK, no McClemence in the census at all, so they must be McClements misspelled.
OK, found Bridget McClement in 1901. -
Niall McAuley said:
In the 1911 census, we see Henry McClements, shopkeeper, matching the signage. The 1910 street directory still lists James.
The directories still list James in 1924!
In 1943, John McClements. Henry in 1911 has a son John, 25. -

National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
O Mac As you wish!
And you reminded me of this statue, so added Moving, rather than Missing Statue tag.
[https://flic.kr/p/whSXd5] -
Suck Diesel said:
“AI Overview The famous wooden carving at Celbridge Abbey in County Kildare, historically localized as the "Brian Boru Statue", is a rustic, weather-worn sculpture. It stands within the tranquil, historic grounds along the River Liffey that were famously associated with Jonathan Swift.
Historically, this piece is an example of local folklore rather than an authentic depiction of the High King.
It is one of a few scattered, traditional representations of Brian Boru found around Ireland”
Still no news of his current whereabouts -
Suck Diesel said:
Has the statue succumbed to decay, being wooden, and no longer exists?
-
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Suck Diesel Hmm. Looks in excellent condition in 1942. Would it have been allowed to succumb to decay to such an extreme extent?
-
Suck Diesel said:
National Library of Ireland on The Commons
Yes, but that was eighty years ago.
I just can’t find any trace or even reference to it
So where is it?
Somebody must know -
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Suck Diesel Absolutely take your point about the 80 years, but would think if it was deteriorating, it would have been relocated. We must be told!

Suck Diesel said:

Niall McAuley Finally after 12 years of intense research I think I've found the answer to what and where that black tower in the distance was.... Joke... I stumbled on this yesterday.
It was originally a clock tower that stood at the Royal University on Earlsfort Terrace which was taken down and re-erected on Kildare St (1914/18) where it is seen above. Ive yet to find out what became of it after.

When the tower was taken down around 1915 the bell which was originally cast and which hung in the GPO for 60 years was removed and brought to St Cronans church at Balla, Co Mayo where it still is to this day.
