Thank you Hasta, that name is still over the door . I would love to know what number 1 was used for with a name of St Joseph's.

Nr 1 Cabra Park looks like a very large property on google maps. The electoral lists for the 1940/50/60's has a lot of different names and lists a Rev Richard Fox as one of the occupants.

numbers 1-3 were combined after 1955/56 - the house is opposite St Peters National School and beside St Peters Church so maybe it was connected to the Church in some way

227 Cabra Rd - electoral roll names Brigid & Edward Halley 1940's to 1960's. sold feb15 http://www.myhome.ie/priceregister/227-cabra-rd-dublin-7-dublin-dublin-7-dublin-339563

Thank you all for sharing your information, it is very much appreciated.

Persian, in your very 1st post you refer to an advert. What did it relate to I wonder.

[M Mary]

Persia, interesting that both # 78 & #1 were called St. Joseph.

Martins, the add was in the Toms directory 1950. It was under the catagory if Nursing homes, that was the one on the NCR. I didn't know about the others at the time of looking.

Maria, many thanks for that. I'll check it out and revert.
