    beachcomber australia I wonder about the gentleman seated to the left of the door wearing the pale hat. Is it the same hat as the one that is hanging on the hatstand in the Wikipedia photo of the billiard room taken c1870?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Mike Grimes Likely! The billiard room is Image 10 in the album.

    Lord Belmont has the family sorted, but a bit vague around 1870 -

    Codpiece vital for Fancy Balls.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Suck Diesel Had to look up KP, and GCVO. For those of us equally challenged, they were Knight of the Order of St. Patrick, and a Knight of the Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order.

    An article in the Manchester Courier - Wednesday 15 March 1876 began:
    FANCY DRESS BALL AT DUBLIN CASTLE.
    The fancy dress ball which took place on Saturday night Dublin Castle, was the first held at the Viceregal Court of Dublin. A children's fancy ball was given by Lord Mulgrave, but it bore no semblance to this splendid pageant. Every one who attended was in fancy dress, with the exception of the Lord Mayor, the judges, and the officers of the garrison. No Court, naval or civil uniform of this century, was allowed.

    No mention specifically of these two, but other Jamesons and Guinnesses are namechecked.

  • beachcomber australia said:
    Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_Bismarck " ... Eight men aboard Bismarck had died due to tropical diseases by early 1880, and so the Admiralität decided to recall the vessel. On 26 January 1880, the ship left Apia and after reaching Levuka, she was damaged in a severe storm, which forced her to go to Sydney for repairs. While she was being repaired, the Admiralität altered her original route and ordered her to proceed to the west coast of South America to support the ironclad Hansa, which was protecting German interests in the area during the War of the Pacific. ..."
