    Finbar Furey the singer went to school there and has a funny story about the place. The family are settled members of the traveller community and lived in south Dublin. While the lads were at school some friend from the music industry visited his father in a beautiful Rolls Royce car and explained that he was setting off to tour Ireland a visit other traditional musicians in their homes. That would involve going up some narrow roads with the grass down the middle and would pose a threat to the paintwork of the Rolls. Mr. Furey proposed loaning them his battered BMW for the trip and the guest left his Rolls for the duration. As it was end of term Mr. Furey went to collect his offspring at Newtown School in a gleaming Rolls Royce. The sight of this well known settled traveller rolling up to collect his family in this symbol of wealth and luxury was a sensation.

The Burkes of Vine Cottage

    For what it's worth, there was a Vine Cottage in Tabot St, Tramore, a guest house in the 1860s - 1880s, run by Mrs Duggan. The Waterford Mirror and Tramore Visitor would list all hotels and guest houses every week with who was staying there.
  • John Spooner said:
    2 buildings here have the right shaped doors and are on a slope. Not sure if they're on Talbot Place. Streetview.

    No sign of the right Burkes in the census, though.
  • John Spooner said:
    There was also a Vine Cottage in Piltown, address of Miss Stephenson, who won £1 for the best kept cottage of people with no children, at the Iverk Farming Society's annual show (Waterford Standard - Saturday 18 September 1909).

    A few Burkes in the 1911 census in Piltown, but the people in the photo are a better match for the Stephensons of Piltown. (2 parents in their 70s, 2 daughters and a son) www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?searchM...
