Just to elaborate.

My mother's parents were Carroll with documented links to Mountmellick area of Co Laois and Caher in County Tipperary and McNulty centred on Killasser in County Mayo. If the people in the photograph were relatives I would plump for the McNulty connection.

I'm not sure that the man is holding a camera.  It doesn't look right.  It appears to be in two colours and there are two long curved rods? that he is holding.  If it is a camera it is a very strange one.

It's hard to tell how old that nun is.  Have you checked the 1940 census?  She might have already been a nun at that time.

You are correct.  I jumped to the wrong conclusion. 

I have now come up with this picture of the artefact and have come up with an idea of what it is.
