    I could push for "dog" but it's a related canine - fox

    11 October 1928 was a Thursday . . . No expense spared on the background. Even worse here - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000594203 . Not to mention the bridesmaid's frocks!

    The 1876 Melbourne Cup was a two-mile handicap horse race which took place on Tuesday, 7 November 1876.[1] This year was the sixteenth running of the Melbourne Cup. The race is most famous for winning jockey Peter St. Albans (real name: Micheal Bowden) who became the youngest Melbourne Cup winning jockey at 12 (he was actually a few days shy of his 11th birthday).[2] Briseis, who won the Doncaster Handicap at two, won by two lengths and was the first of three fillies to win the race the Cup. She also completed the VRC Derby and Melbourne Cup double.[3] Briseis won in a field of 33 and "The boy who rode the winner was carried around the pack and is the hero of the day" reported the Australasian Sketcher.[4] Both Peter St Albans and Briseis have now become racing legends.

    There is a house called Kilgainy near Clonmel on the 25" map, but it does not match what we see here. It is gone today.

    24 February 1922 was a Friday ...

    Here is the death record of Cornelius Phelan of Kilgainey: civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/death.... He died in 1949 aged 73. That gives him a birth year of about 1876, making him about 46 in 1922. Haven’t found a plausible marriage record yet for any Phelan in that part of the country.

    Okay - a few more leads 04/01/1918 - Freemans Journal lists sale of land (at Kilganey & Croan) & a 'beautiful residence' to Mr Con Phelan. Munster Express 19/10/1928 - Acttion by Waterford Board of Health against Mr Phelan of Kilganey for failure to register under 'Cowsheds & Dairy Act.' Irish Press 23/06/1945 - Andrew James Phelan, 1st son of Cornelius Phelan of Kilganey House, called to the bar in Dublin. (How old would that make the first son? Is it consistent with a 1922 marriage?) 1963 Law Directory has him based in London. Irish Press 26/05/1949 reports the closure of the Factory and Showrooms of Phelan & Company, South Brown Street, for a day on account of the death of our Cornelius Phelan (death record above) who was a director of the company. The firm (per Thom's 1937) was listed as 'furniture, wire mattress, curled hair, and bedding manufacturers' and gave the proprietor as MF Phelan of Ailesbury Road.
