    It may be a coincidence, but in 1944 there was a double wedding at Holy Trinty, Portlaw, of two of the daughters of Mr and Mrs E. Tennyson Boyle of Coolfin, Portlaw. They were Veronica Elizabeth Boyle and Ethel Gertrude Boyle. They were attended by their sisters Maud Boyle and Laura Boyle. (Waterford Standard - Saturday 22 January 1944)

    The lady on the far right looks remarkably like the Mona Lisa, albeit with a broader smile.

    It just shows how clothes maketh the man or woman, these people look nothing like those from the evening before! I actually misplaced my first note and meant to put it where Harborindiana from LA put his one on Anton Mesmer, I think that that is the guy in the Chinese robes with the imitation bald head. Chinese men in that age had to wear pigtails to show that they were not of the ruling Manchu dynasty!
