"Sister Bonaventure, c/o Mrs. Kavanagh, 14, Barrack Street"

Beautifully staged. It must have taken quite a while (probably days) to make this photograph happen.

beachcomber australia What Carpet?

seikinsou I would have thought that Poole would not have given more than 1 hour to get the whole process completed?

This does not look like a suburban location. I believe it is a rural location. It was not unusual for rural cottages to have picket fences. The fence to the right and left of the picket fence is a strained wire fence with corner straining posts cut from tree trunks, and the other fence posts of the wire fence are split from trunks, probably hardwood. The wire fence at right has chicken wire strung across the lower half of the fence, although this is not of itself a sign of a rural location. The fact that there are no other residences visible in the photograph does signify a rural location.

This photograph shows three men, a young boy, and a younger girl. Two of the men can be identified in the following photograph which also shows three men, a young boy and a younger girl. It was probably taken on the same day: www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/3093483387/

great shot

The house shows two fireplaces. I suppose one for the living room,or parlor,and the other for the kitchen or perhaps a bedroom. The house has a gutter system.I see no lightning rods. It looks like the house is brick.The cover over the porch is something new to me.It seems to be of somekind of tin or canvas. The cover extends way past the end of the house? Wonderful old pictures. Thank you.

Ol'redneckbassfisherman - We call that material over the porch "Corrugated iron". It is corrugated galvanised iron. It is still a common building material in Australia. It is thin, like tin, about 2mm to 3 mm thickness. The whole of the roof of the house shown is covered in corrugated iron sheets. The sections over the porch are bent into a partially curved and partially stright section called a "bullnose". You can read a bit more about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrugated_galvanised_iron See examples of it here: images.google.com.au/images?um=1&hl=en&q=corrugat... And get a good idea of bullnose corrugated iron here: images.google.com.au/images?um=1&hl=en&q=bullnose... Here is a particularly good example of a piece of bullnose roofing: images.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=http://www.bullnoseroo...

There is an announcement in the Irish Independent of Monday October 15th: MAGNER AND SMYTH—October 9, 1917, at Tramore, by the Rev. T. O'Brien, C.C., Passage-West,- William J. Magner, eldest son of John Magner, Clonmel, to Catherine (Kitty) Smyth, daughter of Mr. Edmund Smyth, Cattle Dealer, Clonmel So it may be William Magner, the original founder of Magners/Bulmers.

Sharon Corbet *shaking fist at you* Was just about to contribute exactly the same thing! I'll beat you next time... :)

Spot the differences! - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000593236 The mother-in-law (Mrs Smyth?) looks happier in the other photo.

According to GRO, marriage took place at Tramore RC Church. Celebrant was Thomas O'Brien C.C. Witnesses were John Francis Magner and Mary J Smyth. William J's address was given as Mitchel Street Clonmel. Occupation Merchant.

if John Magner Snr was c.70 in this pic, it would tally with a subsequent Death record in 1926, where he was described as Hotel Proprietor aged 79
