    The name corrected (Mi)lford written on its bow.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    The ship's name ends in "-lford" which may make it the PS Milford which was scrapped in 1901.
  • O Mac said:
    She was a Great Western Railway ship. One of three paddle steamers ordered from William Simons & Co. of Renfrew in 1873. She was badly damaged in a storm and broken up in 1901. PS Waterford and PS Limerick were sister ships. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Western_Railway_ships
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    There's a reverse view, but it's hard to see much as the ship is in the way.

    Well this tickled my funnybone ... his first wife's maiden name was Page-Turner ! Wiki - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Henry_Barron,_1st_Baronet "Sir Henry Winston Barron, 1st Baronet DL (15 October 1795 – 19 April 1872) was an Irish baronet and politician, who stood at nine different general elections."

    beachcomber australia His mother - this is a memorial to the 2nd baronet. This one is in memory of the 1st baronet.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    The memorials are both in Ferrybank Church, and there is a fairly long article here explaining the history of the church and the memorials themselves.

    Based on my almost non-existent Spanish, I think that the Marques of Pons was a cousin of the Barrons of Waterford. From the Spainish wiki on the Marquesite of Pons, Manuel Falcó y Escandón's mother was Carlota Maximiliana de Escandón y Barrón, who was a descendent of the Eustace Barron of Mexico mentioned on this plaque.
