Monkstown Residents

[jakko]

From Jakko. My grandparents, Richard and Susannah Jackson, died in 1943 and 1944 respectively.
Their certificates just give "Lower Monkstown". I believe they had an unmarried sister living with them.
The 1942 Guys gives just 1 Jackson in Monkstown - S.P.Jackson in Rock Lodge. I would think that was beyond their purse although grandma could fit and granddad had a sister Sarah living in Blackrock in 1911.
I suppose the voters list could clarify this. Is it open on-line?
Thanks for any help.

My family are from Monkstown so took an interest in your post.
Found this in Irish Examiner: May 03, 1934.
"An elderly woman, Mrs Susanna Jackson, 31 Donnybrook Villas, Douglas, was found drowned in the sea at Sandy Quay, Monkstown, Co Cork.....had been sitting in a boat near the shore...later found in sea near boat-slip"
Could find no article mentioning a Richard Jackson. Not sure where in Douglas these Villa's were/are?
You may know where Douglas is...closer to Cork City and not really Monkstown as far as I know?
If you privately send a message with email i can forward article.
