To Quaxar,
Yes please, I probably have some of the information, but there's sure to be
something new.
Thanks,

Ken,

You can request the above will from the National Archives for €2.54. In the will's it usually states sons and daughters of Thomas and also address and you can fit him into the tree...

Cecil Talbot Harding b after 1910 was the uncle of D L Walker & siblings.
son of Alfred Paget Harding and  Wilhemina Dawson.of Dublin
 Cecil died as an infant.

Trying to find a connection with his middle name of  Talbot I found the following information.

1.   JOSEPH THOMAS TALBOT   Male     
      Birth:  12 NOV 1867   , Dublin, Ireland
      Parents:
      Father:  THOMAS TALBOT  Family
      Mother:  MARY ANNE HALPIN


2.   CLARA MATILDA TALBOT Pedigree
      Birth:  25 JUL 1867   0513, Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
      Parents:
      Father:   WILLIAM HENRY TALBOT  Family
      Mother:  GEORGINA MATILDA SWEENY  (sister of Emily Sweeney)
 
CONCLUSION
Cecil is the  grandson of Emily Harding nee Sweeney and therefore the grand nephew of Georgina Matilda Talbot nee Sweeney.

I've found a Talbot Faulkiner Hamlin in the US b. NY 1889 d. 1856
father Alfd Dwight Foster Hamlin, his father Cyrus 1811-1900, his parents were Hannibal & Susan Faulkiner Hamlin.
I guess her name was Faulkiner, born about 1785, but I can't find where.
You can look them up on Wikipedia, quite prominent.

To Quaxar,
Thanks for that. The only one I knew about was the marriage of Eugene's daughter Lydia (named after her mother) to Alfred Richd. Mosley in 1867.
Do you know where I can get more details of the other items ? A quick googling session has yielded no result. Where did you find the reference you posted ?

I found something about Eugene Sweny in 1861.
On 11 April there was an accident on Portobello bridge. A two horse omnibus
went through the railings into the canal lock. Five passengers were killed.
Afterwards people flocked to the site and to see the bus in Sweeney's yard. Sweeney's was a job carriage & funeral establishment (& coachbuilding shop).
But I found nothing on the police investigation in the Irish times a month later.
And the above does not explain how Sweeney was the victim. He was not on the bus.
It's from a book 'A Dublin Tragedy' by Kevin Harrington 1982 Old Dublin Society
You can access the details on jstor.org if you're a uni student or if you 'buy' the article. I'm not and I won't.

Regarding the Portobello horse bus accident, this is fully reported in the Irish Times from April8th--11th 1861 and the reporting includes the inquest.
