I don't see them in the Civil Records - maybe they were married in Rome?

https://www.flickr.com/photos/gnmcauley 1952 is too late for the civil records. Marriage records are only released after 75 years.

I should add that I haven't found anything of interest yet.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/gnmcauley https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland I'd wait until at least 2028 myself - the new records only get released after a full 75 years has passed (at the earliest).

They could very likely still be alive. A newspaper search might help with marriage announcements from the period?

earlier comment deleted I notice a 2020 funeral (" . . .removal to Gowran . . " ) which may be related. In which case, Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h-anam.

Poole seems to place little, if any, importance/care to his backdrops and carpets. It's as if he couldn't be bothered how they looked or what his clients thought of them look.....Pretty manky in this instance.

Almost looks like American Actor Danny Kaye.

Nationalist and Leinster Times, 21 April 1962, 8: "Thieves who broke into the licensed premises of Mr. Austin Murphy, Fox & Goose, Clifden, Gowran in the early hours of Saturday morning got away unnoticed with a big haul of whiskey, cigarettes, sweets and other goods, The premises are occupied by Mr. Murphy and his wife who did not discover the robbery until later on that morning when they went to open their shop. Guards are investigating."
