    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?

    Jennigal923 You are now our official Tempest expert-in-residence!

I didn't know O'Sullivan was in gaol(?)

    Here's a wonderful bit of Red Herring ... "Sweet Afton" on the bar window - "Sweet Afton was an Irish brand of short, unfiltered cigarettes made with Virginia tobacco and produced by P.J. Carroll & Co., Dundalk, Ireland, now a subsidiary of British American Tobacco. The Sweet Afton brand was launched by Carroll's in 1919 to celebrate the link between Dundalk and the national poet of Scotland, Robert Burns. Burns' eldest sister, Agnes, lived in Dundalk from 1817 until her death in 1834 and was buried in the cemetery of St. Nicholas's Church in the town. Carroll's thought that the brand would only be successful in Scotland if the carton simply had an image of Burns, or Scottish name on the packet, so the people of Dundalk were canvassed and the name Sweet Afton was chosen. The name is taken from Burns' poem "Sweet Afton", which itself takes its title from the poem's first stanza:
    Flow gently, sweet Afton, amang thy green braes Flow gently, I’ll sing thee a song in thy praise My Mary’s asleep by thy murmuring stream Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
    A larger version of the cigarette was also marketed under the brand name Afton Major. This name served as inspiration for Carroll's later Major brand of tipped cigarettes. As of Autumn 2011, British American Tobacco no longer manufacture Sweet Afton cigarettes. ... The brand proved particularly popular with post World War II Rive Gauche Paris. It was reputed to be Jean-Paul Sartre's preferred cigarette, and also featured prominently in Louis Malle's film Le Feu Follet, as well as a number of other Nouvelle Vague films. Margot Tenenbaum (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) from Wes Anderson's 2001 film The Royal Tenenbaums also smokes Sweet Aftons." From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Afton_(cigarette)
