    On the 6" map. Cross and tower still standing in this google photosphere. There is a page at wikipedia with history. The monastic site was founded in the 6th century by St. Molaise. A scenic "street" view from Trory jetty to the North.

    Here is this image as a postcard on ebay, annoyingly dated 1914. Hmm, no, it is a slightly different pic. Nevermind.

    It's Lisgoole Abbey (according to Lord Belmont in Northern Ireland.)

    Not 100% sure this is the same place. In the 1870s via Internet Archive Book Images Online book - archive.org/details/livesofirishsai01ohan/page/434/mode/1...

    Is the flower bed on the right young roses? From His Lordship's blurb - "A maintained ornamental garden at the house has a rose-garden, originally developed in 1905 and replanted with 400 new roses in 1982; and a pergola. ..."

    On Youtube, the Bard of Lisgoole by Joan Trimble.

    Anyway, before 1910 - "The interior is a surprise, for the house was decorated about 1910 by Waring & Gillow, who provided elaborate plasterwork, a curving main stair, and an Elizabethan-style fireplace. at the same time battlements to match the tower were added across the front of the house, making it even prettier."

    Suck Diesel Isn’t our online Census a marvellous thing! Well done National Archives of Ireland.

    But is he a cobbler or a cordwainer? A cordwainer makes shoes from new leather (originally using leather from Cordoba), whereas a cobbler makes shoes from old bits of leather ('cobbled' together). One of my great-great-great grandfathers was a cordwainer, and they were very particular about the distinction. New leather was more expensive, so his customers were all 'well-healed'. Or more likely the peasants in his village couldn't afford his products, and he went bankrupt before moving to the big town nearby.

    The census sits on the fence with 'shoe maker'.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    John Spooner "Well healed" I like it. I see he describes himself as "Shoe Maker" in both the 1901 and 1911 Census. I am afraid that does not answer the question you raised.

    John Spooner
    There are 8 men in Ireland with the occupation of Cordwainer in the 1901 Census
    There are 2 men in Ireland with the occupation of Cordwainer in the 1911 Census

    There are the odd few Cord Wainers in both 1901 and 1911, along with Board wainer, Rent wainer, Horse wainer and a Cord winner!
