    L_ROY_01767 and L_ROY_01768 both show one and the same house yet one is "Michael Connells"and the other "Mathias McGraths" ......neither resemble the above. Looks like all the tenants/houses are mixed up. Birmingham, McGrath, Connell- Partick and Michael- so its very hard to know exactly who's house is which.

    I have created a new Album entitled Evictions where I have included all of our photos with the tags "Eviction" or "Evictions" to help contributors with an interest in this subject. [https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/sets/72157659547823814]

    For reference - Very full account of the McGrath day - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/115459777 Interesting Red Herring - The Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Meiningen visited the McGrath house and family in September 1888, a couple of months after - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/212688001 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_II,_Duke_of_Saxe-Meiningen

    May have been taken somewhere close to here The slight gradient and houses up the road align with those on the map....... Streetview

    O Mac I think you are spot on. There's another photo, imho mis-labelled as "[T. Birmingham's house]", which shows the other two sides of the U-shaped yard. No sticks in the chimneys, which are in the wrong position for Bermingham's. And the water in the background just as in streetview. catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000044204/Image?lookfor=http:...

    Clare Library has another account of the eviction of Mathias McGrath and family. One interesting note was the following: The report mentions that a photographer arrived on the scene before McGrath was taken away, and he was allowed to take a picture of the ruined house and the Emergency men, with the sheriff holding his shield. More interestingly, he also took a photograph of McGrath, standing between two policemen. One wonders if this was Mr. French whose work can be seen in the Lawrence Collection in the National Library, Dublin. It is certain that French was present at the McGrath and some other evictions and his photographs (copies of which are in the Clare County Library with identification of the places and some of the people) have left us with a vivid record of the eviction procedures. However, there is no record of the photograph of McGrath. Is that Patrick McGrath standing between the two police in the photo above?
