Uploaded this one at the request of Timothy Dunleavy who got in touch to say this photo is of his great great grandaunt and her family, and that he could identify all six family members... (That's a big Kerching in my world!)
And this just in from Timothy:
"The woman sitting on the chair is my great great grandaunt Honora Kavanagh nee Butler (19-05-1869 - 21-12-1941), sitting next to her is her husband Martin Kavanagh (1869 - 10-06-1949). Standing from left to right are their four children:
Mary Ellen Kavanagh (1909 - ?)
Tobias Kavanagh (1907 - 27-11-1984)
Rosey Kavanagh (1905 - ?)
Bridget Kavanagh (1906 - ?)
Martin and Honora were both school teachers and they lived in Raheenduff, The Rower, Kilkenny."

CHRYSOCOLLA

Uploading this for Sarcoptiform (sold at auction for about 00): "CHRYSOCOLLA
Mashamba West Mine, Kolwezi District, Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre)
While literally tons of Copper minerals have come from the Katanga Copper Crescent in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly known as Zaïre, only a very small percentage could be considered to be fine mineral specimens. This specimen from the Mashamba West Mine is indeed just that, attested by the fact that it was in the collection of well-known mineral dealer and collector, Herb Obodda. This botryoidal group of intermingled Chrysocolla and Malachite is in excellent condition: quite clean and free from damage. Unusual in that some areas of the blue Chrysocolla actually have a very rare violet tinge: its surface is quite lustrous with a sparkling druzy appearance and it is accented by bright green, scintillating Malachite."
Miss Bay Farrell - known to go out "without her gloves"

Uploading this quirky shot today as we got great information on this woman last Friday. Brendan Grogan in Waterford (a relative) spotted Bay Farrell in this photo taken at a Bazaar in Tramore on Thursday, 17 June 1909!
Always delighted to hear from relatives, but especially so in this case as Miss Farrell was on my list for upload as this photo is so crazy. Don't think Bay Farrell's relatives will mind me saying that, as Brendan himself said: She was described by an Irish relative as being "high spirited" and had been known to go out "without her gloves."
Here's the information submitted by Brendan under the photo where he spotted Bay, who must have been back from the States for a visit in 1909:
"... was Margaret Mary Farrell, known as 'Bay'. She was baptized on October 19,1874 at Sacred Heart, Ferrybank, Waterford. She was one of 11 children born to Richard Farrell and Mary Monica (Downey), amongst whom was my Grandfather, Walter J. Farrell. Austin Farrell, (NLI Ref.: P_WP_3697) was another brother.
She was described by an Irish relative as being "high spirited" and had been known to go out "without her gloves." She moved to the United States and married Jeremiah Carew, who she knew from Waterford, at Fort Myer, Alexandria, Virginia in 1899. She died October 30, 1942 (aged 68) in Bronx, New York."
So what do we think Miss Bay Farrell is up to here? Wonder if it was taken in or near the Barracks in Waterford? (Definitely taken in Waterford)
Date: 1894?
