Situations Vacant, Freeman's journal, May 3rd 1892: DRESSMAKING; wanted a first class Dressmaker, R. C.; must be able to cut and fit well, and take entire charge of workroom; none but competent person need apply; state references and lowest salary. Leonard Brothers, Belturbet.

John Spooner So 1899 is not wildly out then? And I'm assuming R.C. was Roman Catholic - you wouldn't specify religion in an ad nowadays!
John Spooner said:
In April 1894 they were looking for a 'stylish Millener, R.C. and good Saleswoman'' The ad for a dressmaker appeared again in Agust 1894, so presumably the successful applicant in 1892 had moved to pastures new. Still expanding in January 1897 DRESSES; Leonard Bros, Belturbet, require a pushing Salesman, RC, of good appearance and address, for their Dress Department; give full particulars at once. Address 8502, Freeman Office.

It looks like they're weaving rugs and coverlets on jack looms.
