My great-grandfather, John Curley, was the gardener at St. Vincent's Lodge, Golden Bridge, Dublin. He was born in County Galway, probably Kinvara, and died in 1918. I have placed what information I have been able to gather on his page at WeRelate.org: https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:John_Curley_%2832%29
