Also present are two servants and two visitors: Henry’s future wife Kathleen Limrick (age 53, a widow born in Co. Monaghan) and Olive Mary Limrick (30, single, born in Co. Dublin) [note 2].

Notes
1. Henry’s occupation is noted as ‘Barrister at law not practising. Registrar King’s Bench Divn. Ireland’. He became Registrar to the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, Richard Robert Cherry – he wrote to Cherry in August 1917 expressing regret at his retirement (document held at the Public Record Office for Northern Ireland, ref. D2166/2/1/9).
2. Olive appears to have been Kathleen’s daughter. She married Daniel J. Smithwick in Yorkshire in 1919.
3. Henry trained as a doctor, but little else is known about him.
4. Edith married actor and singer Sydney Owen Mannering in Essex in 1902. Sydney’s surname has also been recorded as Mainwaring; he travelled extensively, was recorded in Australia in 1922, and appears to have died there.
