The two women sitting on the ground give it a bit of a Latin American feel. Clifden's usually a bit cold for that sort of thing.

St Joseph's Church - "In 1898 the Church Spire was completed standing at a height of 150 feet." - www.clifdenparish.com/clifden-history/ Station opened 1/1/1895 (see wiki above). So 1895 - 1898, so far ...

Loco is no. 26, which I can’t just trace at the moment. Station operated 1895 - 1935

Galway to Clifden railway opened in 1895. Everything looks very fresh here, I'd say we are not too far from the opening.

I just worked out that Marconi's first wife was my Irish maternal great-grandmother's half-sister. Tuning in with interest! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guglielmo_Marconi www.thepeerage.com/p48399.htm#i483987

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Marconi's first wife Beatrice, www.thepeerage.com/p48399.htm#i483985 , was the daughter of www.thepeerage.com/p1795.htm#i17941 , whose first child by his first wife was my great-grandmother, www.thepeerage.com/p28200.htm#i281999. It's complicated - they all seem to have married several times!

This is a contemporary description of the station: The Clifden Station of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph System, from Scientific American, 23 November 1907.

beachcomber australia Got it, you have a very interesting family tree. Marconi's Mother was also Irish!
