The tramway cottages behind the Tram Depot, on the old map, is now where the Bus Depot is, so I make this out to be Simmonscourt Terrace, which was named Tramway Cottages on old map.

BUT were Tramway Cottages ad Tramway Terrace the one and same??

The townland of Smotscourt is a funny shape, a bit of it sticks down between Roebuck and Simmonscourt to where the Tramway Cottages.
Not sure if this link will work

Dublin Corporation Planning would be the one to ask about renaming...

In 1901 a Duffy family were living in Tram Cottages, Donnybrook.

So if this is same Patrick then Tram Terrace and Tram Cottages are one and same


Duffy, Patrick, d. 18 May 1944, Tram Terrace, Donnybrook,

He might have been a Labourer in 1901...  a Bus Conductor when he died in 1944

I'd say Tramway Cottages were done up and the name changed to Terrace at a time when living in a Terrace was considered better than living in Cottages. These days it would be the other way around. :)

If the enumerators didn't spell Beaver Row correctly, let alone Simmonscourt then Who knows??
