    A lot of old train stations in Argentina look like this nowadays!
  • Ciarán Cooney said:
    Lovely portrait of the station, fortunately it still survives. This photo was featured on a BBC railway walk series about 15 years ago in which Mrs Lawlor was interviewed (not sure if she is still around today), I tried to recreate the image myself when I visited Borris.

    Ciarán Cooney That's lovely to know. I've added your info in the description above. Who was Mrs Lawlor? Was she Station "Master"? Was such a thing possible back in the day, or was she Mrs Station Master?

A promise of sweetness for Palace but will the Queen be pleased?

    Not sure what they're going to do in Palace. There's bugger all there. Presumably it's bound for somewhere else afterwards.

    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.
