Not this Mary Curley, " ... convicted on June 24 1849 of cow stealing, she was four foot ten, single, fair hair and fair complexion, she could read and had no previous convictions."

The 1926 census , a year later, has the pair together in Naas. Eliza was 80 and Mary Jane 38. Mary was a green grocers assistant and her Aunt Eliza was the green grocer. nationalarchives.ie/collections/search-the-1926-census/ce...

John Devoy used to exchange letters with his 'childhood sweetheart' Eliza Kilmurry as mentioned in pages 6 and 7 in this link.

Edit:
Eliza was an elderly widow at the time of this photo, if the year is accurate, and died aged 91 in 1927. She must be the lady on the left.

O Mac You've got to love that 1926 census!

Actually, that is not a bell tower but a reinforced dunny, for the wind and rain that Winter will bring.

Oooo! It grew a tower (in 1913) ...

The NIAH says:

Freestanding Church of Ireland church, built 1828 and extended in 1890 and 1913 - 5, comprising four-bay nave, single-bay chancel to the east (added 1890) and three-stage tower (on square-plan) to the west (added 1913)

Also:
The chancel and the clasping buttresses were added in 1890

So, 1890-1913

That obeliskular gravestone looks well kept, might have a date...

The size suggests either a prominent family or perhaps a clergyman.

We've deffo met some of these men [assuming they're mostly men at that time!] over the years. Chief Justice to start with. Hugh Kennedy could certainly afford his suits and bowler hats on £4,000...
