    Looks like someone has added extra support to the stone on the left since Mr French's visit. Nothing in Wikipedia ...
    " ... Local legend claims that the dolmen was carried here by the Scottish giant Para Buidhe Mór Mhac Seoidin (or Parrah Boug MacShagean; "Great Yellow Para, son of Seoidín"). Para challenged Fionn mac Cumhaill to combat, but Fionn poisoned the nearby river and Para drank from it. The Scottish giant was buried at the wedge tomb nearby.

    👀 Another local tradition claims that if a visitor lands three stones atop the dolmen, they will be granted a wish, or will be married within the year. ...    "

    Have to admit to just slapping this location randomly on Dundalk, so if anyone knows the street, don't be shy!

    Nice photo. So many spirited Ladies & Gentlemen. Did It help the Church?

    It's Earl Street turning down Francis Street - the procession is heading towards St. Patrick's Cathedral.

    That gentleman on the right with the languid pose and the cigar was about to make rabbits ears for the lady in the light coloured dress! The bounder!!!

    William Tempest's wife Jane Emily Backhouse, had a sister Alice Gertrude Backhouse. She married Hewston Maxwell Williamson. Since this picture is in the Tempest collection, I would assume that this is a combined family picnic, hosted by the Williamson family. Hewston Maxwell Williamston seems to have been a been a merchant in Dundalk (his father was Thomas Williamson, Timber Merchant)

    Jennigal923 Fantastically detailed genealogical information - thank you! So Thomas and Maxwell and Alice could very well be in this photo, and maybe Jane Tempest, née Backhouse too?
  • Jennigal923 said:
    Perhaps!! Sadly I don't know their faces, so couldn't tell. I do think that William Tempest may be the older gentleman on the family gatherings, outside (one for tea and another for lunch). You also have a picture of "father with Norah and Elizabeth". William had daughter's named Norah Souttar Tempest and Mary Elizabeth Tempest, so more family members identified?
