21 June 1925 was a Sunday ...
It was also the summer solstice.

J. P. wasn't the only one to enter the church. Irish Independent - Saturday 06 April 1935

The death took place suddenly at his residence, Coolbawn, Midleton, of Mr. Richard J. Callaghan. chief accountant, Midleton branch Cork Distiieries Co., Ltd He was the father of Rev. J, P, Callaghan, P.P, Lynwood, California; Mr. D. Callaghan, V.S, Boston, Lincolnshire; Rev. Mother Xavier, Ursuline Convent, Westgate, Kent: Sister Angela Callaghan, Ursuline Convent, Forest Gate, London, and the late Sister Claver, Ursuline Convent, Blackrock,

Perhaps the photo was commissioned to mark a visit home by J.P. hence his position in the place of honour front centre, rather than his parents.

Off to the passenger lists I go.

The second daughter or Mr & Mrs Frank Power of "Suir View Ville", * Waterford, was Noreen. In 1943 she got engaged to Cyril Lewis, son of the late Wm Lewis of Fermoy and Mrs Lewis of Llandudno.
(Waterford Standard - Saturday 12 June 1943)

*The paper actually says "Suir Ville".

Was Frank Power the Waterford seed merchant who took over his father William's business at 25 King Street in 1895 ? (Waterford Star - Saturday 14 December 1895)

Something here about Suir View.

Mike Grimes I'm coming to the conclusion (tentative) that Suir View Waterford is the Krazy Kataloger at work, the Powers of Suir View, Clonmel are red herrings, and 'our' Powers lived at Suir Ville, as in Noreen's engagement announcement.

A few mentions of "Miss Power" of Suir Ville in Waterford papers in the 1920s.

The photograph was taken at the rear of Suir Ville on the Newtown Rd Waterford . Those two narrow windows can be seen on the porch in this NIAH photo.

Waterford Standard - Saturday 05 January 1929 reported the prizewinners of the Children's Fancy Dress Ball, but I'm a little confused by the 'Most original boy's and girl's costume' winners.
