There is a house called Kilgainy near Clonmel on the 25" map, but it does not match what we see here. It is gone today.

Some lovely hattage there for our La Belle Province!

24 February 1922 was a Friday ...

Here is the death record of Cornelius Phelan of Kilgainey: civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/death.... He died in 1949 aged 73. That gives him a birth year of about 1876, making him about 46 in 1922. Haven’t found a plausible marriage record yet for any Phelan in that part of the country.

Okay - a few more leads 04/01/1918 - Freemans Journal lists sale of land (at Kilganey & Croan) & a 'beautiful residence' to Mr Con Phelan. Munster Express 19/10/1928 - Acttion by Waterford Board of Health against Mr Phelan of Kilganey for failure to register under 'Cowsheds & Dairy Act.' Irish Press 23/06/1945 - Andrew James Phelan, 1st son of Cornelius Phelan of Kilganey House, called to the bar in Dublin. (How old would that make the first son? Is it consistent with a 1922 marriage?) 1963 Law Directory has him based in London. Irish Press 26/05/1949 reports the closure of the Factory and Showrooms of Phelan & Company, South Brown Street, for a day on account of the death of our Cornelius Phelan (death record above) who was a director of the company. The firm (per Thom's 1937) was listed as 'furniture, wire mattress, curled hair, and bedding manufacturers' and gave the proprietor as MF Phelan of Ailesbury Road.

Cloche Hats – 5 Intriguing Facts An intriguing fact about cloche hats is that designers would often embellish the hats with beads, silk, brooches, lace, and feathers to suit elegant social gatherings such as parties or weddings. Women could even wear a ribbon a certain way on the hat to express their relationship status. 1. The Hat Was Popular in the 1920s This unique hat was most popular during the 1920s. The hat had a deep crown that hugged the head. It had a soft, curved edge and no brim. The elegant hat became an icon of the ’20s. Women would not leave the house without one and often wore the hat so low that they had to keep their chin up to see. Not only was the hat in style, but it was also a symbol of independence and sophistication. 2. The Hat Influenced Hairstyles The cloche hat was so popular in the 1920s that it even influenced the kind of haircuts women wore. There were two haircuts the cloche influenced: flapper bobs and the Eton crop. Both of these styles were very short, not even touching the chin. Only a few inches of hair stuck out underneath the hat, which displayed the hat’s shape beautifully. 3. The Cloche Was Customizable Designers started to embellish the hat for all sorts of occasions; weddings, parties, and any important social gathering. Brooches, feathers, and beads were popular embellishments and added elegance to the hat. Milliners also added silk and lace to match a sophisticated evening gown. 4. The Kind of Embellishments on the Hat Could Symbolize Your Relationship Status Many people put their relationship status on social media in today’s age. Women during the 20s also had ways to show their relationship status. If a woman was single and was open to relationships, she could wear a big bow on the hat. However, married women would often wear a tight knot to signify their relationship. Lastly, women who were technically single but had their hearts taken wore an arrow-shaped ribbon. Much like how we have cosmopolitan to turn to, the women of the 1920s could also rely on the daily gazette to receive fashion advice. 5. Magazines would tell women what style of hat to wear to cover certain flaws. Women who have round and full faces in the lower half should wear a hat that focuses on the top of their heads. Women who have narrow faces with large foreheads should wear a hat covering the forehead and come down low. When you wear fluffy, voluminous hair, wear a hat turned away from the head.
