    Higher Level Paper

    Pillbox Caps (Hats?) as seen above and below.
    Is it Pillbox or Pill box? is either the correct name?
    Tell us everything about them.

    No-one named Jenkings in the 1901 census in Galway. Here is a possible Jenkins family

    Yes, looking at the OSI, Ballybaun is a townland at the Northern boundary of Clonbrock demesne.

    According to the Wonderful Wizard of Wikipedia,
    " ... In the 19th century pillboxes were worn by the units of the British Army and its overseas possessions as well as by the Boys Brigade. ..."
    See - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillbox_hat#

    I vote for pillbox ...

    Niall McAuley Niall, I would say you are correct, they were certainly productive, a big family! I see in the building report that they own the house, I was surprised by that.

    Could that be a box of photography equipment in the car? is it perhaps the photographers car?
  • philfluther said:
    "the woman of the house": "the person of the house" Dickens; the trousers of the house, too. One image puts me in mind of The Stolen Child.
  • O Mac said:
    The wooden chimney pot would hardly comply with todays building regulations.
  • Paul Smeets said:
    And a chicken in the doorway...
  • guliolopez said:
    The right-hand side of the house (with the bigger cross hatched window) looks like a later extension/addition. I wonder if Dermot Bannon's ancestor had some input.... (Several likely candidate locations in the 6" and 25" OSI maps. Might require local knowledge.)
