Many thanks for the interesting photos to AMByrne and Brendan M
Brendan my source is my Irish Times Abstracts My interest in High Street is twofold. Firstly,it surely is one of the oldest streets in Dublin and of great historical interest. Secondly, my mother's maternal grandfather was the M.O. at the Dispensary (No.53) from 1878 to 1895. Any photos?
Further your attention is drawn to Dublin Corporation Reports 1955 at. P.68 onwards and especially the pull-outs after P.83 dealing with the acquisition by the Corporation of property there for road widening purposes.

Many thanks for all the info on 50 High Street especially to Brendan M who is so knowledgeable on Dublin history. As a descendant of the O'Neills of 50 High Street, I find this all extremely interesting.

Hi MaireÁine
I have researched and located a lot of information on the O'Neills of 50 High St., both before and after they were in High St., for another descendant - a Mary Kane, who lives in the US. Do you know her ?
If not I can forward all this info. to you if you contact me through my website - http://www.irishfamilyroots.com/ 
If you click on 'My Ancestors' and 'Mullins/Clarke' you can read about my ancestors who lived in 50 High Street.
This Mary K also has this O'Neill family history on a 'Shutterfly' website.
Regards,
Brendan M

Hi Brendan,

Thank you for posting the photos from number 50 High street.  I just recently found out that my  Grandparents lived at number 52 in 1925. My GreatAunt was born there in '25. My Great Grand mother also lived at number 52.  They all moved to number 1 in 1926 where my mom was born. My Great Grand mother passed away at number 1 shortly after they moved.

I had known that my Grandparents had lived across the street from number 1 but never knew what number they where at.  A couple of months ago I sent off for all my moms siblings birth certificates and was delighted to find that the first born was born at number 52.  I had assumed that she was born at number 1.

Regards, Caroline

I have a John Brady in my family tree who was a hairdresser, and wonder if this is the same one in the High Street above?

1901 Census.  24 Charlemont St, Dublin.
Ellen Brady, 35, Head, RC, Born Dublin City, House Keeper, born c.1866
John Brady, 18, son, RC, born Dublin City, Hair Dresser, born 12 May 1882
Daniel Brady, 17, son, RC, born Dublin City, Hair Dresser, born 27 Sep. 1883

Lots of Brady info to share if anyone is related.

My grandparents lived in High Street, Philomena O'Neil nee Carey and Patrick O'Neill. My mum and dad John Christopher Walsh and Ellen Walsh nee O'Neill lived above pork butchers number 6 after they got married in 1957.  MARIE
