    Suck Diesel Thank you.

    There's a mention of a possible Punctilio at the 1942 Howth Yacht Club regatta. It can be seen at the time in the video in this blog entry.

    07.43–07:52

    Believed to be Punctilio, Dublin Bay 25-Footer (waterline), designed by William Fife Jr., built by Charles Sibbick, Cowes, 1898. Owner in 1942, J.B. Stephens.

    So the newspaper clip is Summer 1942.

    And here's The Royal Alfred Yacht Club.

    A bit more about Punctilio which hit rocks in West Cork in 1970 bringing about her demise.

    Perhaps the top right and bottom left are of Punctilio. The coach roof in both look similar, and the position of the mast between coach roof and hatch looks good to me. So, what's the French connection? J.B. Stephens and George Arthur Newsom bought the boat in 1899/1900. Perhaps they got Mr. French to take a few photos after they bought it or during a refit? Could the man with the pipe in both right hand photos be J.B. Stephens?

    Looks like c. 1914/5, Artillery (RFA) or the Royal Horse Artillery (RHA).

    Suck Diesel I agree.

    There was a Mary Sutton living in Nooke(Nuke) in 1926.
    Perhaps this a print of a photo taken of her husband Timothy 28 taken around WW1 time??
    (Note in Poole Index Book: says 'Copy'.)

    From the birth record of Thomas Sutton, we learn Mary was née Dalton.

    No, née Fitzsimmons, Mary Kate was the daughter of Thomas Dalton.

Nice and neat, near Navan

    Boyne Hill House now a wedding venue. www.boynehillhouse.ie www.navanhistory.ie It was owned by the Sullivan-MacNamee family from the US in the 60s/70s and they raised race horses. The tree lined southern entrance (near Cannistown) featured beautiful wrought iron gates.

    rickinuk Well done! I thought it would take some time to solve this one, how wrong I was!

    • Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Gerrard: In the mid-to-late 19th century, the house was the primary residence of Lt. Col. Gerrard. His demesne occupied almost the entire surrounding townland, and under his ownership, the estate was renowned for hosting grand, lavish social gatherings.
    • Edward Sclater: By the turn of the century, the property passed to Edward Sclater, a prominent local land agent and magistrate. According to the 1901 Census of Ireland, Sclater lived in the main house alongside his family and a dedicated team of domestic staff.
