...Thanks so much for all the info. Its fascinating! The area sounds really lively and interesting! Its nice to imagine people living positive lives!! I think I'll see if I can find books with any old photo's of the area....

The National Library of Ireland has a great collection of historic photos online that could include some of the area - see : http://digital.nli.ie/

Hi
That would be great! I have only births from between 1869 and 1875. Basically Thomas Cassen married Sarah Carter on 24/01/1869 (He was of 6, Leary's Cottages, she of 34 Sir Johns Quay).
Their children were:
Anne Casson 1869; 7 Leary's Place
Hanna Cassins 1871; 34 Sir Johns Quay
Sarah Cassin 1874: 16 Clarence Place
Patrick Cassin 1875: 16 Clarence Place.

Thomas, Annie and Patrick (and possibly Sarah?) then end up in 1894 in Salford Manchester.

Thomas Cassin (also spelt Casson, Cassins) and Sarah Carter are my Great Grandparents. I have lots of information I would be happy to share...Shaun

That is an interesting looking map you are using.  Is there a name on it and where can I find a copy?

Clarence Street (South) ran north from Grand Canal Street and across Gt. Brunswick St. (Now Pearse St.), and was just west of Grand Canal Dock - see :

  Gt. Clarence Street (South)   (OSI Map)

Select the 25" option, which dates from about 1890.
 
you can also see the street on this slightly later map :

  Dublin City - 1912
 
Number 45 was located on the west side of the street, just south of the junction with Gt. Brunswick St.
