Graveyards and Gravestones / Re: Meaning of leaf symbol on cemetery stone
« on: Thursday 24 June 21 16:46 BST (UK)  »
The Tree Leaf, by means of it's three points, would symbolically represent the 'Father, Son and Holy Spirit', and would traditionally be engraved on a deceased gravestone.

In this case, as a separate stone, I believe it would have been positioned there, in order to acknowledge the bond of the adjacent deceased Father and Son. Who, after death, are both deemed to be in the hands of, and guided by the Holy Spirit.

A couple of suggestions from the Web;

Tuiren – an Otherworld woman who was Fionn’s aunt and married to Iollan, one of the Fianna.

Tara – (TAH-ra) “tower”; Old Irish=Temair. In legend, Temair was wife of Eremon, leader of the ancestors of the Irish, Sons of Mil. Temair gave her name to the hill of Tara, the traditional seat of Irish kingship. Teamhair (TOHR).

The above Link might be worth contacting. With respect to various historical Photography Studios holding references to individual photographs, it depends on what has survived, and passed on to Public and Private Collections.

Dublin / Re: Cock and Rabbit

According to the Marriage Registration, Ann Waters married William Hughes on the 25th October 1885.

Both parties were noted as being of Full Age. Therefore, that puts Ann Waters birth  year earlier than 1870, and assuming she was at least 21 years old, at the time of marriage, would give a birth year of 1864 or earlier.

Assuming of course, She gave Her correct age to the Registrar.
