So before the malicious burning in June 1899.
(See also condensed script of the titling)

Which would explain why it does not look the same since 1899 ...

There is another photo with an ugly yew(?) tree in the way. - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000339191

beachcomber australia That would have been a much better spot for a grand monkey puzzle.

And intrigued by the "malicious burning" in 1899. Personal rather than political reasons?

National Library of Ireland on The Commons I'm not sure about any of the above. I could be barking up the wrong tree on a wild goose chase for red herrings whilst not taking time to smell the roses.

Looks like grandfather seated right, father left and 4 children, no mother...

Here is a William Parker Solicitor, of Tallow getting married in 1846.


Yes, here is the 1880 death at Roseville of William Henry Parker, Solicitor, aged 65.

RJ Parker present.

I don't think there are many roses there now.

Sheila and Cheryl are Hawley sisters and the little girl in the blue dress is their little sister Joanne Hawley Neal. Beccie Snider is Cheryl’s daughter and would be a generation later than this photo.

These are named in the wrong order. Left is Hilda’s Woodman, centre Shirley Rosenplot and Right Laura Wood (Drysdale)

Thank you for the corrections.

Ok, what is it about this snapshot that is distinct from so many others? Yes, the endearing vintage look is appealing as is the interesting unfolding of the ‘dance’ event. But it’s really just some guy sweeping up in a hardware store. —- that’s exactly right - it’s not a kissing couple on a foggy Parisian boulevard or a busy street corner in New York. You really don’t need a professional master photographer to create beauty. —— the hues are fabulous in this indoor flashbulb that exposure. The two gestures are so wonderfully choreographed. And most of all it’s the solid structure of the picture. Look at the harmonious diagonal lines created by his leg, broom stick, bar edge, her leg. And how everything fits into where it should be so casually. Nice photo

Thank you for the kind comments! Mary Lloyd Johnson carried her camera everywhere, capturing local events and people. She has captured our local history like no other person.

DannyM8 Extremely late on this, but I'm counting 24 dogs. Ones you might have missed - one behind the man on the right, one sitting on the very far right, and one lying down behind the standing dog in the center.

I wonder if this is them ?

" ... In 1875 the house was acquired by Edward Smith for a sum of £145,000. Smith had made a fortune from trading coal on the Newry to Liverpool route and married an Isabella Cullen of Liverpool. He later became High Sheriff of Cavan in 1878.
Later his son Major Edward Patrick Dorman Smith became High Sheriff of Cavan in 1897 and 1898 after marrying Amy Patterson in 1894. ... ..."

No! They are Cootes ! Image 2 has a 13 September 1870 date.
(13 September 1870 was a Tuesday)

beachcomber australia I wonder about the gentleman seated to the left of the door wearing the pale hat. Is it the same hat as the one that is hanging on the hatstand in the Wikipedia photo of the billiard room taken c1870?

Mike Grimes Likely! The billiard room is Image 10 in the album.

Lord Belmont has the family sorted, but a bit vague around 1870 -

The house was completed around 1730 for Judge Thomas Coote.
It is widely considered to be the first and one of the most perfect examples of a Palladian villa in Ireland, designed by Coote's nephew, the architect Sir Edward Lovett Pearce.
Pearce also designed the former Houses of Parliament in College Green, now the Bank of Ireland building.

The dedication in pic 2 is Lady Dartrey, from Richd Coote, 13 September 1870.

Per wikipedia:

Charles Johnston Coote became High Sheriff of Cavan in 1807 and later in 1810 married Louisa, a daughter of Richard Dawson of nearby Dartrey Forest, and he lived until 1842 when the house passed to his eldest son, Dawson Richard Coote (1811–50).

The house was owned and occupied by a minor, Richard Coote, at the time of Griffith's Valuation around 1857 and administered by Colonel Charles George Henry Coote of H.M. Indian Service.

In 1857 and 1859 portions of the extensive land holdings in the estate were offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court.

The house was later sold on by George Coote in 1875.

8 September 1908 was a Tuesday ...

Only one hit for Stephenson, Doctor in the 1911 census, and he's only 22!

Poor transcription, I think it says Medical Doctor, Not Practicing, M.D. National University

His father, Matthew, Late Land Owner, Justice of Peace Kilkenny.

Niall McAuley Indeed. Not prostising would be unusual. :)

At young John's birth in 1888, Matthew was a Gentleman Farmer in Dualla near Cashel.

A bit more Poole-adjacent, in 1901 the family live in 17 Church Road, Tramore.

The 25" shows a house named Clareville on Priest's Road in Tramore.

House is still standing, now named Inchera Streetview

Born July 1888, so not a 21st picture...

Graduation?

Graduation is plausible, though still amazed at him doing a Doogie Howser, M.D.

His sister Barbara died in England in 1928, still giving that 1911 address, 120 Rathgar Road.

Trifecta+ Time! Spot the differences ...

Excellent Photography ✨ Thank You for Sharing

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Interesting report on the riots prior to the 1984 Bob Dylan concert.

My The Brother went to see 84-year-old Bob Dylan in concert at Swansea a couple of weeks ago. He wasn't impressed. "The stage wasn't lit so I can't be sure. There was a disembodied voice coming from somewhere from someone who could have been a very bad Dylan impersonator." The audience was "largely disgruntled", but no rioting, no windows broken, and no officers of the law barricaded in their station house.

The neighboring photo from NPCC [ www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/npcc.23696/ ]suggests this may be a treat for congressional pages.
[See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_of_the_United_States_House_of_... and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_of_the_United_States_Senate ]

The picture is certainly taken on Capitol Hill.

Thanks swanq. I looked to see if I could find a photograph with a caption for this image and I did. It's caption should be: Some of the "Goodies" ordered by Vice President Coolidge for the Senate Boys dinner.

The accompanying photo swanq mentioned also has a longer caption: Just before the Vice-President's dinner to the boys of the Senate. Photo made on Capitol steps. I'll ask our catalogers to add these captions to the photos.

I appreciate if you accept my invitation(s)
