Summary[edit]

Description

Down the "Wesht" today to Mallarany which I suspect is also known as Mulrany? Mr. French appears to have brought traffic, police, the dogs and the local population all to a standstill. The great saviour of all police motor cyclists who had lapses of concentration leading to crashes and damage to their "vehicles" was the black dog and here we can see where those dogs originated! Thank you Mr. French for locating them!

As the modern pub signage (StreetView) suggests that the business pictured was established after c.1890, and as the pillbox hats worn by the police were phased out by c.1900, the consensus is that this image was captured in the 1890s. Perhaps the middle of the decade. If so, the people beneath the "Morans" signage could include at least several of the Moran's themselves. Thomas Moran (shopkeeper) was a widower by the time of the 1901 census, but could his wife have been alive and pictured here? Certainly it seems plausible that the young lads pictured include some of his sons - Niall suggests James and Thomas (Jr).....
