John Hamilton-Gordon, 1st Marquess of Aberdeen and Temair, was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1886, and 1905-1915 (ahem @ dates above!) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hamilton-Gordon,_1st_Marquess_... She was called Ishbel.

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Thanks. It looks slightly earlier than the 1960s.

You could not make this up. Lord Aberdeen wrote a book of jokes in 1929. Described as "bafflingly unfunny", it has achieved cult status and was recently (2013) republished. A sample - He couldn't say! A lady remarked to a former bishop of London on one occasion "Oh! Bishop, I want to tell you something very remarkable. An aunt of mine had arranged to make a voyage in a certain steamer, but at the last moment she had to give up the trip; and that steamer was wrecked; wasn't it a mercy she did not go in it?" "Well, but," replied the bishop, "I don't know your aunt." From - www.theguardian.com/books/2013/oct/03/jokes-cracked-lord-...

There are a couple of other photos taken nearby which also show an alarming tilt. Was Mr O'Dea having a bad day?!

the tilt ! yes he straightened for the leaning stacks o Mayo and poured the Atlantic into the doldrums.
I spent too many years photoing rotobales ( 4 albums worth), they danced and raced around the fields, some even had emotional troubles

Looks like a Back-end-of-a-bus view - goo.gl/maps/t4VcLivGeg9BxybD9

There's a good café about 6 doors up. I always stop there when I'm in Swinford.

The nearest Mellets are in 1911 in Foxford

Also, Gnomes of Zurich is a bit of a stretch, surely? He might just as easily be a Bermuda Triangle or a Servant of Cthulhu.

Interestingly, Market street has moved from being this street when this photo was taken, to being now what was then chapel street. The Pawnbrokers on market street (i.e. possibly the one in this image) in 1901 were David and George Meade. Edit: In 1911, all the bankers lived on Main Street, which according to the OSI was not in fact a thing. So perhaps market street in the census is where market street is today, and not the street shown above.
