    Did we have this one up before Carol? Its a lovely wedding shot of some very handsome people and as you say unusual in that it is of members of our Jewish community.
  • Swordscookie said:
    I was going to say that there are quite a few with their heads uncovered but of course they would have yarmulkas on their heads having been at a religious service.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I suspect a close perusal of Page 7 of the Irish Times of Friday September the 6th 1901 might yield some interesting details.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The courthouse is still there (streetview). 25" OSI map from 1905 here
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The 1901 census lists 3618 people as Religion: Jew*. 1.25% of them could be in this photo!

    Great photo. I walked past this building everyday when I was going to school. By the way this was the first garage in Ireland.

    Paul O'Farrell That's great to know, and we have pictures of Peares, and of Mr Peare in his motors and his motor boat! Wish the picture of Kelly's in your link was larger, then we might be able to identify individual salesmen in our photo...

    This is the garage established by WF 'Bill' Peare and WGD Goff at Catherine Street, Waterford in 1900. Peares went into liquidation in 1917 and the garage has continued in use under different owners to this day. It was the first purpose-built garage in Ireland. (The first garage in Ireland was Porters at Montgomery Street, Belfast in 1899).
