Dara,
You may be interested in this map of Balgrifin. I reckon its sometime after the   Dublin to Belfast railway line was installed as its on another part of the map.
You can see LIME HILL HOUSE to the left of St Doulagh's Well.

Many thanks for the map. Unfortunately I'm not able to make out the detail writing , probably due to my computer resolution.

Do you know where I can view the original map? I might be able to make out the detail from a hard copy.

Thanks,

Dara.

I know this is marked COMPLETED - I thought you'd like to know that I passed "Lime Hill" on Wednesday last on my way to the airport (by back-roads because of traffic).

There's a gatepost on the Malahide road clearly marked, just before St Doolagh's church.

Eadaoin, thank you for that information. I'm hoping to be in Dublin before Christmas and will check that out.

Noel, I have sent you my e-mail address by PM.

Thank you all for your help.

Not sure if I can help on this one or you can help me but my ancestors also come from Lime Kiln Road/Lane in St Doloughs.  My great great grandfather Terence Gorman/O'Gorman born 1846 and died in 1873.  Following up on a lead that he drowned in the Liffey in 1873 -I have a death certificate but just validating.  His wife and my great great grandmother Jane Gorman (née Dowling) born 1845? died 1915 but working on validating the dates.  But I have their marriage cert which states that they were living in Balgriffin and married in the Church of Baldoyle on 16th May 1867.... My great grandfather Patrick O'Gorman was born in Lime Kiln Road, St Dolough’s (Doolagh’s), Coolock - 19th April 1868 as was his sister Mary Jane, brother Terence.  His youngest brother was born in a public house called the Cock and Rabbit.  Did you come across any Gormans/O'Gormans on your searches?  I visited St Dolough's last weekend and have asked them if they have any historic information that they can share with me
Warm wishes
Sandra
