Hi, I was interested to read that Breslin is an easy name to follow. My Great Grandmother was Mary Breslin from Dun laoghaire. Just wondering if you had any info on the Breslins from that area.
Mary Breslin (my great grandmother) was married to Patrick Byrne this is the 1911 census record
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Kingstown_No__2/Sarsfield_Street/96602/
Not being that common a name I think I have a copy of her Baptism Cert from 1884 which lists her mother as Mary Breslin with no mention of the father.
In the 1901 census the only likely Mary Breslin I can find is staying with her aunt and uncle James and Cecilia Bryan. The address on both the baptism and the aunt house was Tivoli Avenue.
Sponsors at the baptism were Christopher Kelly and Bridget Breslin.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I didn't mean that Breslin was all that easy, but Toby is a very uncommon name, so HE was easy to follow!
I'll have a look at what I have - I've most of the Breslin burials in Deansgrange from about 1887 to 1972, but never looked at the Byrnes.

Hi thanks for checking them out for me.
Mary Snr had Mary Jnr 1884. Mary Junior was staying with her aunt 1901 so my gut feeling is the her death must have been between these dates.
Mary Jnr had a child Bridget Byrne (my Grandmother) 1917 who I'm told had to be raised by other relatives. Patrick Byrne I'm told died at the end of the war circa 1918, but was killed by a tram or bus or suchlike abroad. I think the mother died not long after but I cant be sure.
I know I've not given much to go on but fingers crossed something comes up.
Regards

Breslin burials in Deansgrange between August 1887 and May 1905.
I hope to look at earlier ones in the next few weeks.
only 2 I'm afraid .. I WAS careful, but I suppose I could have missed one
April 1892 .. Myles Breslin (48) bricklayer married .. Bath Ave Irishtown
March 1895 .. Mary Breslin (59) widow of Daniel .. 11 Tivoli Ave Kingstown .. burial managed by Patrick Breslin
In the BMDs, there's a Mary Breslin (18) death in 1884 in Rathdown which includes Dun Laoghaire ... could this be her?

Eadaoin,
Thanks a lot for that.
The Mary Breslin at Tivoli Ave seems right for her mother.
The younger one is far too young.
I'll try and see if the number of Tivoli ties up and
I'll do some research into Patrick and Daniel Breslin ;D
thanks again.

I've just noticed ...
Mary Brislan(18) above has the same Grave Number as Mary Breslin(59) 1895 in my previous message
-
Eadaoin,
Thanks for checking that out for me.
Very Interesting.
Death of younger Mary is less than a year after My Great Grandmother Mary is Born,
Could be post birth complications.
The other Mary could be My Great Grandmothers Grandmother.
Food for thought,
Thanks Again,
Mark

Eadaoin,
Im 90% sure that both the Mary Breslins are my Great x 2 and Great x3 grandparents.
Is there any information on whether there is a Headstone at the grave (A1-71-N) and if so has anyone photographed that graveyard that you know of.
Regards
Mark

Mark-
I don't know if there's a headstone, or if there's a photo lurking somewhere.
I was in Deansgrange recently in the North Section, but looking at "W" not "A" - I don't expect to go back again for a while,

Eadaoin,
Thanks anyway. I thought i would ask just in case.
I know there are a lot of irish projects to photograph cemeteries because of lack of other resources.
I managed to get the marriage certificates for Mary and her aunt so Im slowly making progress.
Regards
Mark.

Hi Mark,
I hope this link works as it is an excellent site. Hopefully it will open in the North Section where I did find reference to a Breslin grave at No. 438. I will hopefully be in the cemetery this coming weekend and will try locate grave No. A1 71 N for you.

Hi Colur,
Thanks for that, It worked and ive saved a copy for future reference.
Not sure if its a family like yet, but you never know.
Thanks also for the offer of having a look to see if you can find the grave.
It is much appreciated.
Regards
Mark

from the igp site
No.438
| DESMOND BRESLIN | died 16th July 1924 aged 4½ years |
| TERESA BRESLIN | died 27th July 1933 |
| CHARLES BRESLIN | died 16th April 1937 | R.I.P.
from my notes on the Deansgrange Burial Registers ...
Desmond is son of Charles Breslin of Great Clarence St
Teresa is from 16 Macken St
Charles .. I've no Charles, but I've John Breslin 16 Macken St in April 1937
... ... (maybe I made an error, as the BMDs give a death for Charles Breslin from Dublin South in Q2 1937)

Hi Mark,
I dropped in to Deansgrange today and had a quick look for your Ancestors grave.
Check out picture and text No. 430 on the IGP site for the Rourke Family as it is Grave No. 77 - A1 – N so only six graves away from the resting place of your relatives. Unfortunately that whole area is very overgrown and I was unable to find the exact location of Grave No. 71 – A1 – N. hopefully one of the other members might have better luck
This is the Rourke Family headstone. You will note from the site map on the IGP site that there are two North sections. From the main walkway at the offices the graves are numbered in descending order, the higher ones being nearer the gate and the rows lettered from the back to the front so row A is in the centre of the plot, 13 rows in.

Thank you very much for trying.

Hi guys you might want to check out the history of Bray (6 miles south of where you talking about) a Breslin was extremely important to the development of the town as a holiday resort (like Blackpool) from 1880 to 1910, in fact he owned a hotel out here, which is partially still standing, I'm working on a documentary of Bray at the moment so if I can help and if he's link, I would gladly help fill in the gaps :)
Sorry his name was Edward Breslin :)
-
I am a descendant of Edward Breslin, hotelkeeper of Bray and would be interested in any information about him.
-
Is there in your family tree an "I. W. Breslin" or a "J. W. Breslin" who was related to Edward Breslin the Bray hotel owner, who was living in 1914? If so, please let me know and I'll send you some information that may be of interest to you. Thanks, Andy Egendorf (Boston, MA, USA area)
-
I don't know of any I.W. or J.W. Breslin. Edward Breslin had a son J.H. Breslin but he died before 1914. I would be interested though in any information you have.
-
I have a Dubliners by James Joyce, signed by I or J W. Breslin a week or so after publication. As you may or may not know, Breslin's Hotel played a part both in Joyce's personal life and in Ulysses. I am wondering if the Breslin who bought the book (in 1914) was a relative of Edward Breslin.

Is this the Edward Breslin of the Royal Marine Hotel who died 1897, son Albert was the informant

Is John Henry 1877 the JH Breslin
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/cert_amends/cert_1877/2104002c.pdf
Isabella Jane 1873
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/cert_amends/cert_1873/2177936a.pdf
Maude 1874
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/cert_amends/cert_1874/2155744a.pdf
Mary has used her previous married name on some of the births but you can see the note on the side of Maude's giving her name as Walker.
-
Yes these are the children from Edward Breslin's second marriage in 1872. I am descended from his son Edward from his first marriage. His first wife who died in 1870 was also called Mary. As far as I am aware there are no descendants from the second marriage and only my family from the first. But you may know differently.
-
I don't know anything about them.
You asked for any information about Edward so I posted what I found.
Is there something in particular about him you hoped to find?
