    Health and Safety would not be happy with the candles these days.

    We could do with a drop-cloth like that this year. Easily the highest levels of needle shedding we've had in recent years. Those ceramic(?) heads on the drop-cloth scare me more than the candles to be honest :) We know the Dillons were well-traveled - do we think the images behind were collected or otherwise represent some of those travels?

    Merry Christmas! I love how it has central place in the room. And the cloth under it was so sensible. As kids we still had crackers on our tree. I love the wee interior details here with the rod picture rail and the curtain pelmet rail to the left (oh the joy of changing fashions and that pelmets have long gone!)

    I don't think cats were so common as indoor pets as they are today. Pets are taking over!! (No, none live in my house--say what you will. . .. :-) Thank you, Mary, and happy holiday to all at the National Library of Ireland!

    Pillbox Caps (Hats?) as seen above and below.
    Is it Pillbox or Pill box? is either the correct name?
    Tell us everything about them.

    No-one named Jenkings in the 1901 census in Galway. Here is a possible Jenkins family

    Yes, looking at the OSI, Ballybaun is a townland at the Northern boundary of Clonbrock demesne.

    According to the Wonderful Wizard of Wikipedia,
    " ... In the 19th century pillboxes were worn by the units of the British Army and its overseas possessions as well as by the Boys Brigade. ..."
    See - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillbox_hat#

    I vote for pillbox ...

    Niall McAuley Niall, I would say you are correct, they were certainly productive, a big family! I see in the building report that they own the house, I was surprised by that.

MAY YOUR DAYS be LONG & HAPPY!
