Title: TRALEE Houses
Post by: jaylay on Monday 16 April 07 18:08 BST (UK)

Prospect Lodge and Lismore House - Does anyone know if these houses are still in existence in Tralee (or maybe just outside the town), and if so, whereabouts they are?  I am trying locate them to check the 1901 census, so I need a street name.  The families in them would have been Huggard I think. 

Thanks
Jaylay

It may be worth your while getting in touch with the local library they may be able to help you by checking the current electoral rolls

Thanks Mo - I've just emailed the library in Tralee, as per your suggestion, so hopefully they'll be able to help.

well all they can say is that they can't help but most of these libraries are very helpful and the staff are really nice.

Do let me know how you get on

Best wishes

Hi Mo

Very helpful people in the Tralee library - told me about a book 'Houses of Kerry' by Valerie Bary, which I ordered from my local library - had LOADS of info about houses of interest to me - so thanks for your suggestion!
