    It could be a stable block behind them.

    There's another photo entitled Gwynfryn Mary and Dog.
  • O Mac said:
    Other photographs in this series suggest it may be Plas Gwynfryn, Wales, home of Conservative MP Hugh Ellis-Nanney who married Elizabeth Octavia Dillon, daughter of Robert Dillon, 3rd Baron Clonbrock, in 1875.
  • Sharon Corbet said:

    When you look at the quality of these photographs it is shocking to think that they are over 100 years old.

    By 1901, The girl on the right could possibly be Mary Crehan (40),( nee Dolan) living in Latton, a townland bordering Clonbrock. Demense. She has a son(2) called Patrick? www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Cloubroc... The only other Dolans in the vicinity is Pat Dolan (34) and his family..Possibly son of the Pat Dolan mentioned.

    beachcomber australia They'd probably have looked like that even if it was a thursday.

    I see a few Dolans near Clonbrock in 1901, but no Pat Dolan old enough to be their father in 1881... Best guess is Mary Dolan, 70, who has a daughter Mary (married name Crehan) who is 40 in 1901, hence 20 in 1881. O Mac Snap!
