even TD's can't get answers about missing records

It is very clear that Cannon Law over rules Common Law in this county i. e. The church still controls our state.

I see MJ Gallagher (nee O' Reilly) was born in 1906. Her father was a constable from what I can ascertain from the Certs!

It is simply unacceptable that our personal details are in the domain of the church, and nobody apparently knows how to access them.

Interesting finding from you both, many thanks.

Regards,
M

hi Martina Mary, you can find some more info on the 1911 census..

[M Mary]

Many thanks LC. I'll check it out.

It would appear from MJ's death Cert that her husband was a retired Garda!

Her son JC Gallagher bought #78 in the 1970's from an investment company! Who owned it prior to that is unclear.

I wonder what house # the Gallaher's moved from in Hollybrook rd in 1939, to #78 lower Drumcondra road ?

Hi LC, thanks for the census tip. Very illuminating in numerous fashions!

hi all,
does anyone know if mothers were sent to the private midwives service from mother & baby homes? I've been trying to find out if babies were actually born in the m&b homes but no luck.

did mothers stay in the m&b homes for weeks after babies were born

there was a m&b home st patricks in cabra not too far away from #78 & the other two midwives on the north circular road...
