Here is Robert French the photographer in the 1911 census, in Ashfield Avenue, Ranelagh, with daughters Mary and Annie, and grandson Griffith.

Wow, Ticking the "Show all information" box, I see Children Born: 11, Children Living 8

Niall McAuley Somehow "Landscape Photographer" doesn't do what he did justice! Do you think Mrs French was dead or away from home on census night?

A little about him here - z9.invisionfree.com/royaldublinfusiliers/index.php?showto... - Signed on with the Royal Dublin Fusiliers in 1883; and subsequently for the 11th Reserve of the RDF in 1915; Regimental No. 1331

In 1911, French is 69 and a widower. I can't immediately find him, Annie or Mary in the 1901 census.

Lovely shot of the cavalry getting ready. Interesting barrack buildings in the background, all much the same as those in such places as Birr, Templemore etc. except that the space above the archway is not built up and the clock is not mounted on the tower of the cupola.

Thats a great picture - some equipment each cavalry trooper had. Hope the clock was working!!

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/rockface] Well, like Rupert Brooke's poem, The Old Vicarage, Grantchester where the question is asked: "Stands the Church clock at ten to three?" - in this photo, it'll always be a case of "Stands the Barracks clock at eleven twenty?"...

Can you spot the officers - they seem to have different tunics. Spotted this image of todays cavalry!

RG_IV12 A lot more "horse power" in your photo, methinks!

Wow
