beachcomber australia I found this in the Catalogue - Cadogan may have been Lord Lieutenant at the time of this photo? Instructions and protocol for the swearing in ceremony of the new Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1895 Earl George Henry Cadogan

Census details of the VRL for 1901 and 1911 1901 George Henry Cadogan is Lord Lieutenant 1911 John Campbell Gordon is Lord Lieutenant I see his profession is noted as Peer East of Aberdeen, I presume this should be Peer, Earl of Aberdeen!
