The two lads are probably footmen as they are not actually in the 'cart' proper. The same lads are seen in the newsreal below at 1min 30secs in looking stiff as bricks. The other two women are the Queens daughters, Princess Christian and Princess Beatrice. Mason's photograph was most likely taken on the way to the Phoenix Park from Kingstown(DunLaoghaire) on the 4th April 1900.....around midday.... as cortege reached Viceregal lodge at 2pm. www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=q9gwn...

O Mac They've got medals. Do you not think they'd be genuine soldiers?

National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
O Mac derangedlemur Which end of Grafton Street would you say? (for my map) I am inclined to go with the medals argument, I still say we will have their names before the day is out. For a while I thought the big man might be John Brown but it is not him.

In this photo of Brown he is wearing the same (very similar) uniform as our men in the Carriage. Click Here

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.

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.
