    WOW!!! What a lovely photograph of the mother and her son. I could look at that all day and marvel at the image. A poet in his finery with the loving mother by his side, dressed in their day to day clothes and posing for the gentleman/woman with the camera. Look at the hat on the ground, at the weather beaten skin on their faces and hands, the long strong fingers of the man and the well worn shoes on the pair of them? Magic!

    Swordscookie And her wedding ring has become very loose on her fingers as they've shrunk with age... Did check to see if we have a copy of that poem in our collections, but if we do, it's not individually catalogued. Maybe in our collections of street poems and ballads.

    On Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Brigid's_Well it says that a wandering poet once wrote - "On St Brigid’s Eve, as night fell, My mother and I went to Saint Brigid’s Well, Where the candles do burn and the great walls do shine on the graves of the dead and the vaults of O’Brien" Could those be the words of our Poet friend above? It would be great to find out and get the entire text.

    Another vague possibility: In 1899 and 1900 (and probably after that), the Bristol Mercury regularly carried advertisements for the Waterford Steamship Company. They provided a passenger service between Waterford and Bristol (nine sailings a month in each direction - fares: cabin 15s,return 25s, children and servants travelling with families 10s, deck 7s 6d, children 4s). Their four ships were the Dunbrody, Reginald, Comeragh and Lara. Could Mr Goff be something to do with the steamer? On reflection, probably not, as he would be more likely to be photographed in uniform if he were captain or an officer, and apart from the rather fine beard, he doesn't strike me as the hearty matelot type..

    This is Sir William DG Goff, Waterford businessman and cycle and motoring pioneer. He was probably Waterford's first motorist and built the cycle race track in Goff Park, now The People's Park. He lived at Glenville, Waterford, which I understand is still in existence. He was a partner with EF 'Bill' Peare in founding Ireland's first purpose-built garage at Catherine Street, Waterford, still in use as a garage today - surely one of, if not the oldest garage in continuous use anywhere in the world. He was the founding Chairman of the Irish Automobile Club (today the Royal Irish Automomobile Club in 1901 and also of the Irish Aero Club in November 1909. He died in 1917. - Bob Montgomery, Curator, RIAC Archive.
