Arthur Henri Poole - Fancy hats and Roman Collars

A wedding group from the Poole studios with a wonderful selection of hats and at least 5 members of the clergy in attendance. With such a fine group attending I do hope that Mr. and Mrs. Cassin of Bennettsbridge had a wonderful married life?..Almost consecutively, sharon.corbet ( /photos/scorbet/ ) and Bernard Healy ( /photos/bernardhealy/ ) identified this as the wedding of Alice O'Keefe and William Cassin ( https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1923/09187/5323367.pdf ) on 2 July 1923. Bernard also suggests that one of the clergymen pictured, Fr Andrew O'Keefe, chief celebrant at the wedding, was the bride's brother. Unfortunately Alice passed away in 1939 (aged 47). William -every bit the tall farmer in this image- remained widowed until his own death in 1963 (aged 87).......Photographer: A. H.
