Do you want to give a name? Perhaps looking at the record might help re letter formation comparison.  :)


The man's name was Joseph Boyne, born 1888 in Dublin. The record is dated 1923, Mountjoy Prison Registers.  http://www.rootschat.com/links/01lwk/
Looking at the F in the Hair and Complexion columns, I think Kay99 may well be right about the character after the 3.

It’s even worse when I do it  ;)

I tried to make it read Tulip Place but I think I have imagined that.

I don’t know the area at all but from browsing thought it would be Clontarf West area  :-\ not that I can see anything there though. :(

Coming out from city you go through Ballybough until you get to Ballybough Bridge,,,, then you go into Clontarf West

I'm wondering if it was one of the lanes and alleyways that didn't make it for mention on maps and in street directories, I could see nothing for it in the 1918 PO directory or in the immediate area in an early 20thC OS map (links below):

BTW, a search of contemporary newspapers for a placename in Ballybough ending in 'Place' didn't produce any hits that would 'fit' with what is written in the image either.

In the electoral divisions section of that page, I can see Ballybough A and B. Clicking on those gives a map with the area marked, and checking the streets against the Mountjoy list from 1911 shows that certainly in that database they are classed as Mountjoy.
