Illustrated London News - Saturday 07 July 1877 announced the marriage of one of Dr Graves' daughters, but I'd guess not the one pictured

On the 3rd inst.. at St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields, Captain R. M. Blomfield, R.N., to Rosamund Selina, second daughter of the Right Rev. C. Graves, D.D , Bishop of Limerick.

From other wedding notices, children of Dr Graves included
- eldest son Alfred Percival Graves, HM Inspector of Schoold (Dundee Evening Telegraph - Tuesday 01 December 1891)
- Robert Windham Graves, Her Majesty's Consul for Kurdistan, youngest son (Clifton Society - Thursday 19 December 1895)
-

This one looks more likely (Liverpool Albion - Monday 16 August 1869)

POWYS—GRAVES—Aug. 7, at the parish church of Kilcrohane, Sneem, county Kerry, Henry L. Powys, captain 52nd Regiment, second son of the Hon. and Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man, to Helena Cecelia Graves, eldest daughter of the Lord Bishop of Limerick.

Happy new year !
Usually the "family gatherings" are very static and formal - this one is very dynamic, people with differing outlooks and positions - great choice

The six storey Scottish Mutual Building (originally known as the Scottish Temperance Building) was designed by Henry Seaver and built by James Henry & Sons between 1902 – 1904 for the Scottish Temperance Assurance Company at a cost of £40,000.

The site, formerly known as the Scottish Mutual Building, will reopen next year as an hotel

Yikes! The building looks quite scary in colour!

Yes, it’s very brown

I see the blur of a high speed electric tram on the right.
So 1905 onwards

19 November 1907 was a Tuesday ...

Doyle & Dillon is clock heaven. But which is the right time?

I think the buildings have survived. The new bank is to the right on the corner, and Kelly's have expanded.

beachcomber australia Yes, both buildings survived, even the fancy windows of the clock shop.
Furlongs on the left wasn’t so lucky.
I’ve heard of the Happy Ring House in Dublin, this one is the Lucky Ring House.

Doyle & Dillon's prices on Tuesday 19 November 1907 as advertised in the Evening News (Waterford) I wonder why it says no. 79?
Their advert in the Waterford Star - Saturday 16 November 1907 says 76, as does the one in the Waterford Standard.
Monday's Evening News says 79, but by the 21st it says 76.

I wonder if the Evening Post typesetter was told to buck his ideas up or else.

I assume the figure in the doorway is either Doyle or Dillon, wondering why all their potential customers are passing their shop and looking for watches 3 doors down.
