(Waterford Standard - Saturday 12 June 1943)

*The paper actually says "Suir Ville".

Was Frank Power the Waterford seed merchant who took over his father William's business at 25 King Street in 1895 ? (Waterford Star - Saturday 14 December 1895)

Something here about Suir View.

Mike Grimes I'm coming to the conclusion (tentative) that Suir View Waterford is the Krazy Kataloger at work, the Powers of Suir View, Clonmel are red herrings, and 'our' Powers lived at Suir Ville, as in Noreen's engagement announcement.

A few mentions of "Miss Power" of Suir Ville in Waterford papers in the 1920s.

The photograph was taken at the rear of Suir Ville on the Newtown Rd Waterford . Those two narrow windows can be seen on the porch in this NIAH photo.

Waterford Standard - Saturday 05 January 1929 reported the prizewinners of the Children's Fancy Dress Ball, but I'm a little confused by the 'Most original boy's and girl's costume' winners.


A boy named Dorothy? Who identifies as a pillar box?

Jonathan Raymond Wright and Elizabeth Jane Daley are my great grandparents.

Brief history Tobacco growing commenced during Australia's early years of settlement. Governor Macquarie experimented with plantings at Emu Plains in New South Wales in 1818, and by the 1820s tobacco was cultivated by farmers in the Hunter Valley. During the 1850s growing extended to Victoria and Queensland. It is likely that some proportion of the early crop was intended to supply the colony with the makings of pesticide for use in ridding sheep of parasites.9 Growing reached its peak in the early 1970s, when nearly 16 000 tonnes of leaf were sold annually,10 but by 2006 the crop yielded under 4000 tonnes.11 Prior to deregulation of the market, most Australian leaf was purchased by local manufacturers.12 Major influences contributing to the downturn in local tobacco growing included declining tobacco consumption in the Australian population, and successive reductions in the protective tariff on Australian leaf during the 1990s, which permitted manufacturers to purchase leaf more cheaply on the international market (see below).12 This led to an increase in diversion of Australian leaf into the illegal tobacco trade12 (see also Chapter 13, Section 13.7). Commercial tobacco farming no longer occurs in Australia. The industry began to wind down during the mid-1990s, with successive announcements at state and federal level for government-financed restructuring grants (exit grants) to tobacco farmers to assist them in leaving the industry.
