Waterford Star - Saturday 20 November 1915:

DEATH OF MR. PATRICK MURRAY. The remains were laid to rest at Kill yesterday of an old and popular citizen of Waterford in the person of Mr. Patrick Murray, Henry street. The deceased had been out on Sunday last, but was subsequently seized with illness, and passed away early on Wednesday morning. The deceased was a valued employee of the firm of Messrs. John Hearne and Son, builders, with whom he had spent the best years of his life. Possessed of great natural ability and endowed with excellent qualities of head and heart, be was genuinely esteemed by all who came in contact with him.

John Spooner A very nice and well worded death notice.

Here is Robert O'Keeffe, Marble mason, in the 1911 census. His house at 13 Michael St. is recorded as having a stable and a shed. And see what I found on Streetview, still at 13 Michael street: R. O'Keeffe & Sons still at it! (as of 2017, anyhow). I think the Location for this shot is that yard at #13. Robert lived at Michael Street until his death in 1952 aged 77, recorded as a Monumental Sculptor.

At Robert's birth in 1875, his father John is recorded as a stone cutter. John is living on Manor Street in 1901, and died there in 1904, so Michael Street was not the family home. In 1901 Robert was living in Bath St.

Here are Patrick and Ellen at home in 1911, with children Statia, Teresa, Maggie and Josephine. 21 Henry street in the census matches the modern numbering, a 3 window house in a row of similar houses: Streetview Hmm, maybe not - this Patrick is 60, should be 64?

Interesting related piece on the Ask about Ireland website, The Waterford News - 28th of July 1916 This building is number 9 Henrietta Street, Waterford Street View

Paul O'Farrell Can't thank you enough for this one, Paul! It had been annoying me that we didn't know where it was. Found a lovely snippet on Waterford in the Seaman's Handbook for Shore Leave from 1919:

Sailors' Homes, etc. British and Foreign Sailors' Society, David Beatty, Sailors' Rest, 9 Henrietta Street (No board or lodging, but Recreation Rooms, Bath Rooms, Coffee Bar, free Literature. Sailors are sent to Ossory Hotel, Gladstone St., two shillings nightly, free Library and amusements); Soldiers' and Sailors' Home, Adelphi Terrace (Board and lodging).

Teacups, teacups everywhere and not a beer in sight!

Peter Denton Absolutely! Would imagine it was a "dry" event, unless the tea was "fortified"... :)

excellent scene I particularly like the paper decorations .

lovely

fantastic photo! -- Seen in my contacts' photos. ( ?² )

It's not all that unknown. It's the top of Henrietta street.

Streetview drove up the wrong side of the road, but it's clear enough: www.google.ie/maps/@53.3526911,-6.2707075,3a,75y,272.42h,...

I am surprised the Lion and Unicorn is still in situ!

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Indeed. At the very least, Sharon, O'Mac and Niall would all have got this one if they were out of bed.
