    "GOFF, HERBERT, M.D., Glenville, Waterford, Ireland, owns a lo-horse Panhard, 12-horse Napier, and 21-horse De Dion tricycle. Is a fox- hunter, and regards automobilism as the future means of locomotion. Clubs: Kildare Street tDublinf, Bath, New Oxford and Cambridge, and Authmobile."

    I could be wrong, but I think the "exuberant dress" is actually an early motoring costume. See some of the photos here for example.

    Before/during 1923? If it's the same Herbert and I think it is, Lady Goff was described in the Evening Herald of 17 April 1925 as: ... Lady Goff is the widow of Sir Herbert Goff, Bart., who died in 1923, and mother of the present baronet. She is a daughter of the Right Hon. Sir C. Stewart Scott, G.C.B. Miss Goff is her only daughter. [I know they're described as Mr. & Mrs. by A.H. Poole, rather than Lord and Lady, but another mention I found in the Irish Independent 15 March 1916 speaks of "Mrs. Herbert Goff, wife of Capt. Herbert Goff, heir to Sir William Goff, Bart." so presumably Mr. and Mrs. Goff and Lord and Lady Goff are the same people?]

    His obituary in The Times (London) concluded A popular and considerate landlord, he devoted himself to the management of his estate, and was very proud of his cherry trees, which were the largest of their kind in the country. As a shot, he excelled, and he was a first-class billiard player.

    @m.lartigue It is! Especially the ball Sir Richard is holding - his terrier has chewed it to bits...

    From the Irish Times of March 6, 1909: "Before Mr. H.F. Feeley, Commissioner for Oaths, Mr. James Quinlan was sworn in as High Sherriff of the City of Waterford, and Mr. James Collins as Under-Sherriff." If he was sworn in in March 1909, he must be near the end of his term.

    Man boobs ! It looks like another Quinlan, "M.", the Mayor of Waterford, liked full finery too - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000591753
  • DannyM8 said:
    Sharon Corbet It looks like he was appointed again to the same office in January 1911 as per the Irish Times
  • DannyM8 said:
    It seems clear that he was High Sheriff for 1909 and 1911
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Interesting beachcomber australia (the Quinlan connection rather than the shape made by the chain :) ) Do we think M Quinlan (Mayor) and J Quinlan (Sheriff) were related? Or just lots of Quinlans in that part of the world...?
