And there’s a child, in a white hat, with her back to us, in the trap with the ladies!

I think the bicycle suggests 1900 rather than 1890...

Where are all the chimney pots? Have they been blooped-out by the photographer?

Yeah, the Chimney Pots are conspicuous in their absence, thieves stealing Pots (note careful Grammatical spelling)!!!!

Bernard Healy From the Civil Register of Deaths (Carlow) - Died 6th June 1953, aged 74 at Killenane, William Kelly. Death reported by Mary Kelly (Daughter)

Bernard Healy excellent

National Library of Ireland on The Commons I found out a bit more today. Looking though the Nationalist & Leinster Times I find evidence of the Kelly Family being there from 1914 onwards. They pop up advertising livestock & land to rent, etc, pretty frequently. There seem to be two farmers operating out of Killinane House - William & John, sometimes John P Kelly. The latter was also an agent buying pigs for the Irish Co-op Meat Ltd from the mid 1920s. On 23/10/1926 there is an obituary (with maddening little detail) for Mrs Mary Kelly of Killinane House who died aged 86 on 14/10/1926. Her death cert described her as widow to a farmer & the death was reported by her son John Kelly. The age I have for William Kelly at his death & for Mary Kelly, leads me to conclude that at the time of the 1911 Census, the Kelly family were resident in Ballyteigelea in Borris. Here is the Census form.
