Not sure which nattily dressed gentleman is Mr Lane, but this group were embarking passengers on the SS Copeland at Adelphi Quay in Waterford.

If any of you would like to revisit our other SS Copeland photos, I've replaced previously uploaded ones with high res versions. Who knew the sailors had a lovely C S Co. motif on their jumpers/sweaters?We do, now that you can actually see loads more detail!

Impeccably clad P. Gallwey playing golf at Tramore. Don't know whether he's in the rough, or whether Tramore Golf Club just wasn't as manicured as we're used to nowadays.

See comments below for sad news about Mr Patrick Joseph Gallwey who was a doctor. He looks so hale and hearty in this photo. Thanks to blackpoolbeach and Niall McAuley for their genealogical research. And do not miss Nageesor's Gallwey family death certificate transcriptions below...

This gentleman, playing with his Jack Russell(?) terrier, is Sir Richard John Musgrave, 5th Baronet of Tourin (10 December 1850-1930), and High Sheriff of County Waterford in 1880 - pictured at his home in Cappoquin, Co. Waterford.

Plus is this the most menacing face carved into a piece of furniture ever?

Our original metadata described this Poole photo (Waterford) as Mr McEneaney- Lady- hat on- group. However, this just in!

There was only one McEneaney in all of Waterford according to the 1901 Census. Born in Monaghan, John McEneaney, who was 26 in March 1901 was an unmarried Prison Warder and he lived on, believe it or not, Gaol Street!

By this date in November 1904, McEneaney was living on 20 O'Connell Street, Waterford. Thanks to mogey for checking farther afield in the 1911 census. By this time, John and Deborah were living in Castlebar with 3 daughters and 1 son.

I initially wondered if it was their wedding day, as both have a chrysanthemum buttonhole! But they are definitely married, as in another photo taken on the same day, Mrs McEneaney has been given the ubiquitous copy of The Lady of the House, prop of props for married women posing at the Poole Studios (and she's wearing a wedding band)...
