Appearances can be deceptive. This is a photo of the O'Connor family, Tramore, Co. Waterford. At first glance, the paterfamilias Peter O'Connor looks like a mild-mannered solicitor. Solicitor he was, but mild-mannered, no.

On 15 August 1901, he jumped 24ft 11¾ins (7.61m), a World record in long jump that lasted 20 years. His Irish record in long jump lasted 89 years. Peter O'Connor won a silver medal at the Athens Olympics in 1906, but did not like being regarded as a British athlete. He climbed a flagpole and raised an Erin go Bragh flag.

In sporting retirement, he became Vice-President of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland.

Thanks to ofarrl for doing great research on the names of O'Connor family using Mark Quinn's book on Peter O'Connor, The King of Spring and adding notes on all the family members in this photo.

Hat trick - Royal visitors in the Picture Gallery, Kilkenny Castle

A royal group in Kilkenny Castle, that beautiful castle in, arguably, Ireland's most beautiful city - but can we name this lot?

And indeed it seems we can. With thanks in particular to some our regular stalwart contributors (and newer blood), we have confirmation that this does capture a royal visit to the Marble City. The man-who-would-be-king (the Duke of York) and family visited the Butler/Ormonde family at their home in Kilkenny Castle in April 1899. While perhaps already on the road to confirmation, DannyM8 helped confirm the sometimes elusive trifecta of who, where, and when. An extract from the Irish Times summarises this "at home" gathering in the castle's noted picture gallery, and lists those present as the:
- Duke & Duchess of York (later George V & Queen Mary)
- Marquess & Lady Ormonde (James Butler & Elizabeth Grosvenor)
- Two other Ormondes (likely the Marquess' daughter & brother)
- Marshal & Lady Roberts (Frederick Roberts & Nora Bews)
- Viscount & Viscountess De Vesci (John Vesey & Evelyn Charteris)
- Lady Eva Dugdale (later Lady of the Bedchamber)
- Earl of Ava (Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood d.1900)
- Sir Charles Leopold Cust (baronet)
- Sir Francis De Winton
- Mr J. T Seigne JP (officer of Ormonde's estate?)
- and "Mr Moncrieffe"

We even see forebears of both the visitors and the hosts in the portraits to the rear...
