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.

2's company and 30 is a crowd! The expression Jam Packed comes to mind. Yes Carol, you're dead right he has a camera in his hand. I would have expected a Breviary but that is indeed one of those dreaded camera thingys! The priest on the other wing has a sister on either side and the resemblance is remarkable, there is a great sense of love and pride between them as they snuggle in together, really lovely to see.

The groom looks slightly worried, the bride looks self-assured.
Lots of happy people on the bride's side of the picture.
I like the woman in profile.

perfect! :)

Yes the priest is holding a camera, like the ones here in my collection;

It could be a camera, hard to tell, could also be a case for holding religious pieces such as holy water, oils etc? Though the "buckle" at the right does look like it could wind on something like film.

NOW, **huge** "leap of faith" here on the priest... if it is a camera could it be Fr Francis Browne? If I was forced to say yes or no based on what I have right now I'd say no but maybe there are other photos or evidence that may prove it one way or the other. The only photos I can find of him he is much older or younger but it's not impossible that it is him. In 1922 he would have been 42. Most of the people here will have seen Fr Brownes photos from the Titanic.

Update: Just saw juffrouwjo's comment. Looks like it is a camera then so that would strengthen a case for it possibly being Fr Browne.

Careful or you might overPower us!

O Mac Thanks! Edited, try now. If that is the house, it has been altered.

The steps look correct, but the door/windows don't
