I just found a cert for a John Hayes, postman, of 14 Charlotte Street (son of John a tailor) and Mary Hayes a cook, daughter of Michael Evans a corporation labourer from 2 Tolka Cottages, Drumcondra. I know my John is from there originally. His brother, Michael had a cottage there when John was in the army.
Hopefully, you can see the cert attached. I'm hoping to speak to my great-grandmother soon. She's the eldest daughter of John Evans. With a bit of luck she can shed some more light on this branch of the family.
Hi Miriam,
I was looking for photos of 14 Charlotte Street when I came across your post. My Uncles family lived at number 14 from about 1900 to 1914. There names where John and Bridget Hayes they had a huge family. You don't mention a name so I was wondering if we were related.

So I found John Evans second marriage record to Mary Collins in 1925. Lo and behold, one of the witnesses to the marriage was none other than a John Hayes of 14 Charlotte Street. They must have been good friends or neighbours for John Hayes to be witness at John Evans wedding. Thats crazy!
Hi there, just reread this post and had another look at the Hayes.
I found that John Hayes B 1903 married a Mary Evans about 1930 (haven't found a cert for them).
I have nothing on Mary so I was wondering if your John Evans had a sister Mary. Also you may have already seen that Mary Collins lived at number 3 when she was 4 years old. CC
