I'm trying to verify a story that an Edmond Brown was briefly proprietor of the Hibernian Hotel in Mallow around 1895-1897. We know that he and his wife, Ellen, moved to Mallow from Cahir Co. Tipperary around 1895. By 1897 he's the steward at the Mallow Club. By 1920 he's at the Mallow Commercial Club. I've managed to find several names related to these places online, but only one that might be him:
From a transcription of the 1914 Guy's Postal Directory for Mallow at
http://www.failteromhat.com/guy/mallow.htm- Patrick Walsh: proprietor Hibernian Hotel
- E O S Allen: Hon Sec Mallow Club
- H Dicker: steward Mallow Club
- W Fitzpatrick: secretary Commercial Club
- John Murphy: steward Commercial Club
References to individual entries in the 1926 Guy's Postal Directory for Mallow, found at the Mallow Archaeological & Historical Society's name index pages
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~irlmahs/midxa.htm, etc (midxb.htm for surnames beginning B, through to midxy.htm for surnames beginning Y):
- Patrick Walsh: proprietor Hibernian Hotel
- R McClean: steward Mallow Club
- W Fitzpatrick: secretary Commercial Club
-
Edward Browne: steward Commercial Club (I'm fairly certain that this is actually our Edmond Browne)
What are the links, if any, between these three places?
Where exactly in Mallow were they (I think the Hibernian Hotel was on Bank Place)?
Does anybody know of, or have access to, Guy's Postal Directories for other years?
Any other places I might be able to find more information?
