Dublin 1901
« on: Wednesday 06 August 14 20:42 BST (UK) »
Is there a resource to look up photos or building ownership. I have found ancestors living in houses with many boarders . These could be very big houses or small hotels. I did look on Google maps but difficult to pinpoint.
The addresses are 164 and 166 church street,Arran Quay, Dublin. Any help appreciated.

Go back to the Census and look at a family below the list of the family you will see a House and Building Return ( Form B1) in blue, click on this you will have to find the correct page but you will learn lots about the building.

Scroll down on link to see an old photo taken in Church St

Were they tenements or "lodging houses"?
