Macken/Mackin's of Ringsend or Irish Town

[familytreefreak]

Does anyone have any info on the Macken or Mackin family from Ringsend or Irish town from around the 1880's.

this seems such an unusual name...

[shanew147]

do you have any first names or occupations for the Macken family ?

not an unusual Irish Surname...

I only know of Margaret Mackin/Macken born abt 1886 in Ringsend, married Thomas Woods.

Margaret is my great grandmother

[shanew147]

do you have the marriage cert ?

that would give you Margaret's father's name and occupation, which should help find the correct family.

I sent off for it yesterday... So excited to find another piece of the puzzle.

I had a look through the Thom's directories for the later 1880s/early 1890s but I dont see any Maken households listed in Irishtown or Ringsend, but not everyone is included in these listings. It depends on the type of trade/occupation they had and also type of house they lived in.

See the topic 2 Minute Introduction to Irish Records for details on searching the BMD index, ordering certs etc - note the familysearch index is not working correctly at the moment, so it's probably best to give them a day or two to sort it out, before trying any serious searching.

p.s. the Registration district for Ringsend/Irishtown is Dublin South (this will be mentioned on the BMD index)

I have a Edward E Mackin on the 1870 Slaters living in 17 Clanbras-il Terrace [South Circular Rd] and is listed as a gas inspector. I know this isnt in Ringsend.. but he is a gas inspector.

Thats it though
