Here are the whole family in 1901 - Mary, the wife/mother, was a Black and Molly her granddaughter was named after her.    Molly's mother Hester Baines is here at 15 years of age.  They are living in Ballysadare.

Hi there, not sure if this helps - there are Blacks in Ballysadare - they are buried in the Church Of Ireland graveyard near Beltra.    Black was my great grandmother's maiden name and there were RIC in her father's line.  Her brother Willy was injured in WW1 and returned to the area to live with her for a while.   Here is a video of Molly Ellis (formerly Glenn), my grandmother, and his niece, talking about the family there in a recording from 1998.  She passed away at 89 in 2005.   We are all up in North County Down now, although I think some of the old family still live in Sligo.   I have some photos here and will return to the area to film in the next month or so.
