Arran Quay address
« on: Tuesday 08 August 17 22:20 BST (UK) »
I will be in Dublin in a couple of week’s time as part of a 6 week trip to the UK visiting places where some of my ancestors lived, worked and were buried. I am having a bit of difficulty with one Dublin address and wonder if anyone can help please.
 
In the 1901 Census the address is given as being “House 1, Highfield, North Circular Road, Arran Quay, Dublin” and in the 1911 Census it is given as being “House No 2, Highfield House & Cottage, Arran Quay, Dublin”. I am assuming that these addresses are for the same or adjoining houses back then.
 
I would like to see where these addresses are and hence would like to know if the houses remain today and what the actual current address is?

First thing to check is if the house number matches the form number (the numbers on the census are form numbers)
it does

No.2 is a 1st class house so fairly decent

At the moment I'm looking at this area http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,714608,735620,11,9
it may seem a long way from Arran Quay but Arran Quay is the District Electoral Division, looking at the map near by Rathdown Terrace is also listed under Arran Quay.
Edited to add, DED had been crossed out and changed to Arran Quay Ward, but it doesn't make a difference.

Needs more work though, might not be the right spot.

Highfield looks like two houses and there may be a cottage in the grounds, than again it could be a large shed.
Looking at the occupations of the Joseph Tatlow, Railway manager it looks like a good spot for him right next to Broadstone terminus and William Purcell O'Neill, Civil Engineer would be able to afford a decent house.

Think it could be the correct place.
Sadly it's not there anymore.

Thank you so much for those replies - spot on. For your interest Joseph Tatlow was my great grandfather and Frederick Cooney my grandfather.

Many thanks for those newspaper articles Dathai. Google Street view appears to show the gatehouse and what was the drive to Highfield House so I will be interested to go there.

the entrance does look very tight for construction traffic.
