I found the photographs of No 24, thank you. I am trying to find any research sources in Ireland prior to the 1901 census, can you help with sites, please? Is it possible to ask your informant to contact me?

[Jamesbrook]

I understand 'informant' is the connection on another site, I thought it might be a living informant!

[dathai]

sorry i should have said ''informant''was the person registering the birth on that date

...not at all, learning fast, though disappointed not alive! Thanks for all your help.

I’m a descendant the Curtis Family of Abbey St., Brassfounders. My mother’s father was Kevin Curtis, Brassfinisher, born 1891, to William Curtis Of Dublin  (1858-1941) & Catherine Doyle of Wicklow (1855-1947). Williams parents were Joseph Curtis of Dublin (1833-1890) & Sarah Stoker of Dublin (1837-1909). Joseph married Sarah in St. Brides Church(COI) on 13 April 1857. It seems that their children William 1857 & Edward 1872 were baptized both in COI & RC churches. William & Catherine & family are all listed as RC on the 1901 & 1911 Census’s in Bloomfield Park, Dublin. Edward Curtis was listed as Joseph’s father on his marriage cert. I found a Death notice (on FindMyPast) in the Cork Examiner of 15 July 1863 for Edward Curtis, Brass founder, 23 Chancery Lane, aged 72yrs (died 13 July 1863).  I’ve visited Mount Jerome Cemetery and was disappointed to learn that both Joseph & Edward were buried in common graves. Edward would have been born circa 1791 according to death notice.

Re william curtis and sons brass founders etc. We have recently archaeologically excavated the cellars and out-buldings they occupied on 26-29 Chancery Lane Dublin in the 19th century and have found kilns, casting floors, dozens of crucibles etc. which they used and also some of the objects they manufactured!
