Looks like a woman right out of one of William Trevor's short stories. Excellent photo.

Here is a James Healy of Callan in the 1911 census. His wife Mary Healy would have been 30 in 1909.

In 1901, Mary is not at home - and James is mistranscribed as James Kealy. (Something) Publican and Cattle Dealer. Here is Johanna Mary Healy's birth record, which says mother Mary was née Sullivan. And here they are getting married in 1897. Her address is given as Hugginstown. In Hugginstown in 1901, here is Pat Sullivan, her father, with her mother Johanna, sister Ellen and.... Mary Sullivan, daughter but Married? must be our Mary here. Statia Cleary, born New Ross, is, I think, this Anastasia Cleary, whose mother is Johanna Cleary formerly Sullivan.

Does anyone know what this room was for - dining, hall, chapel?

It is a wonderful photo, full of ghosts which had not yet happened.

Exterior -

It was the recreation hall and chapel, with male and female dining halls either side behind retractable iron shutters, so that a larger space could be made. Read all about it - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13591166
