    "Expert Authorities Claim that it takes one ton of lead to kill a man in actual warfare. Why not perfect yourself to do the same with one oz.?" Why indeed ?

    zippo22 A fairly extravagant claim...

    Before anything else: "Shooting range" @ 74 Thomas street: [GMaps] [OSI] Print works @ 13 Stafford Street [GMaps] [OSI]

    guliolopez Thank you for those beautifully presented geo links. Now that's sorted, when was this? I checked in the 1903 and 1908 Thoms Dublin Directories (11th December fell on a Friday) but at no. 74 Thomas Street is John Byrne, grocer, tea, wine, and spirit merchant. Tried a few random years - 1912: ITGWU and 1915: Vacant...

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Indeed. I find this one a bit intriguing. I had found the same census returns as yourself, and it's clear that 74 Thomas Street was a public house (probably with grocery component) at the 1901 and 1911 census. There's nothing to indicate that it was in use for an extended period as a shooting range. (Although those properties all have/had reasonably long yards and rooms, so one of the back rooms might have been used as a range for a period.) Confirming a date would be made easier if we could link "The Fox and Co." to the property. However, I can't seem to find the company at all - not to mention any connection to Thomas Street. The only Fox connection (of any sort) to 74 Thomas Street would seem to be James Fox - a 16 year-old Na Fianna volunteer who died during the Rising at Stephen's Green. In some sources his address is given as 74 Thomas Street. Perhaps a family connection. Perhaps a coincidence. I went and (re)watched one of Eamonn mac Thomais' marvelous pieces on the history of the Liberties to see if he might mention something - but no such luck. (Although - to be honest - I was glad of the excuse to revisit these videos. I will find an excuse again soon...)

    The two lads are probably footmen as they are not actually in the 'cart' proper. The same lads are seen in the newsreal below at 1min 30secs in looking stiff as bricks. The other two women are the Queens daughters, Princess Christian and Princess Beatrice. Mason's photograph was most likely taken on the way to the Phoenix Park from Kingstown(DunLaoghaire) on the 4th April 1900.....around midday.... as cortege reached Viceregal lodge at 2pm. www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=q9gwn...

    O Mac They've got medals. Do you not think they'd be genuine soldiers?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    O Mac derangedlemur Which end of Grafton Street would you say? (for my map) I am inclined to go with the medals argument, I still say we will have their names before the day is out. For a while I thought the big man might be John Brown but it is not him.

    In this photo of Brown he is wearing the same (very similar) uniform as our men in the Carriage. Click Here
