Domhnall Sioradáin Very good, I thought it might take a while for a positive identification.

St Michael's Church, Gorey in streetview.

This was our First visit to the collection

Can't believe I know something and I'm first! That's Albert Bibby on the left. Capuchin.

Reminds me of an unrepeatable-on-here old joke ...

And Father Dominic O'Connor on the right. It's a Cashman photo, apparently.

I think they are standing at the gate of the Capuchin Friary in Dublin. Streetview.

Mr William Lennon of Lisnageeragh, Bonmahon was 28 in 1911.

Mr Jeremiah Lennon of Lisnageeragh, Bonmahon was appointed to the post of Poor Rate Collector for Kilmacthomas in September 1928. (Waterford Standard - Wednesday 13th June 1928)

New Ross Standard - Friday 28 September 1951. Looks promising at first but (1) wrong number of priests, (2) wrong number of bridesmaids (3) Neither groom nor best man is William. So I conclude wrong wedding, but some of the dramatis personae might well be the same.

The wedding, with Nuptual Mass and Papal Blessing, of Mr James Lennon, son or Mrs Lennon, Knocktopher, Co. Kilkenny, and the late Mr. Jeremiah Lennon and Miss Agnes O'Connell, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs Michael O'Connell, 2 Scotch Quay, Waterford, took place at St. John's Church, Waterford. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Father O'Shea, O.P., St. Saviour's, Waterford, and Very Rev. A. Barron, ADM,. St. John's. The best man was Mr. Jeremiah Lennon, brother of the bridegroom. The bride was given away by her father, and was attended by her sister, Miss Margt. O'Connell. She was attired in a dusty two-piece with navy accessories and wore a spray of Lily of the Valley, Going away on the honeymoon, which will be spent in Dublin, the bride was attired in a grey costume. The bridesmaid wore turquoise, with matching accessories. The receprion was held at the Adelphi Hotel.

Waterford Standard - Saturday 02 July 1949:

Mr William Lennon, Glen House, Lisnageeragh, Bonmahon. retired draper's assistant. left £2,187

in his will, presumably.

More Lennons in the obituary of Mrs M. A. Lennon, Bonmahon (Waterford Standard - Saturday 16 April 1949)

Mrs. Mary Ann Lennon, Glen House, Bonmahon, died at her residence on Monday, at an advanced age. She was widow of the late Mr. Michael Lennon, extensive horse and cattle dealer, who predeceased her some twelve years ago, and sister-in-law of Very Rev. John. Lennon, P.P., Stradbally, and Mr.William Lennon, who gave most of his life-time at Messrs Robertson Ledlie's, The Quay, Waterford, both since deceased. To her family - Messrs. Wm. Lennon, Glen House, Bonmahon; John Lennon, Leamybrien, and Dennis Lennon, rathanny, Kill, and her daughters, Mrs P. Power, Rathgormack; Mrs J Quinlan, do; and Mrs. William Harney, Ballydurn, Kilmacthomas - sympathy is extended.

So that's a William Lennon, of the right address. The Jeremiah lot seem to be a different lot to the Williams.
