Title: Nun's in Castleknock, Dublin
Post by: Oneday on Tuesday 16 January 18 09:59 GMT (UK)
I'm looking to find out the order of nun's which were in Castleknock, Dublin in 1901.  I have a potential relative I've traced through a census document to this area.  I do know it was more than likely Catholic.  If anyone can assist with this or how to contact them I will appreciate it.

There are at least 3 churches in the area - St Brigid's, Our Lady Mother of the Church & Church of St Thomas, the Appostle.

I'm also wondering if Castleknock College was the Nunnery or if it's newly built to suit today's educational demands.

Doesn't say St.Vincent's but quite likely to be the same order of nuns.
Finding a death for one of them might help.

It was a school for ‘deaf mutes’. There are some references online to the school.

Just my luck found a death for Mary Agnes Haughey, occupation Sister in Religion, could they not have given her order.
Still looks like heywood has it sorted anyway.

It clearly say   Residents of a house 94.1 in Cabragh

Not Castleknock.

It stated St Mary's Castleknock so, I have contacted the school & asked them for information on how to contact the convent.

Fingers crossed.
