    OS 25" map. from 1895 shows the RC Chapel "in progress". The parish website says it was finished in 1902. At least the exterior looks finished here, so I'd say this is after 1900.

    I hope everyone took care on their way home. Sudden death klaxon! The Hull Packet and Humber Mercury (Hull, England), Tuesday, February 2, 1830, quoting the Limerick Evening Post
    A woman, named Ellen Connell, of Valentia, county Kerry, has been committed to Tralee gaol for the murder of her husband, a decent farmer. She is the mother of seven young children. Her paramour, Denis McCarthy Lawney, a labourer, with whom she indulged an illicit connexion, is also fully committed for the murder, it appearing that they strangled the unfortunate husband on his return from the fair at Cahirciveen, and flung his body into the sea. The body was washed ashore two days after near to the scene of the murder.
  • John Spooner said:
    I came across account of this murder again when going off on tangents from the Valentia photo. I can add is that [ spoiler alert] the pair were found guilty at the Spring Assizes in March and sentenced to be executed the following week.

    Where are all the Females of Swords?
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Swords House is behind the trees on the left side.

    From the Fingal Independent:

    "The house was owned by Col.Fitzeustace Forster and at the beginning of the 20th century, to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, he allowed the general public to come in and view the ‘light show’ he had organised.
    Apparently, every window in the house was lit up to mark the occasion and that would have been a rare sight for Swords."

    In 1901 he was "absent on the Continent".

    There's a lady (or at least someone wearing skirts) in the left-middle ground. She is blurred. Because, unlike all the stationary males, she's got stuff to do. I expect the other females of the locality all had better things to do than stand about for a photo :)
