Im looking for information on Sarah Place, Islandbridge, which was a collection of tenements replaced in the late 1960's with the existing flats.
I have heard they were called Sarah's Cottages at one time, and were used to house soldiers and horses originally.
I can find no reference to the place online in any resource, - they were possibly outside the city limits, - or belonged to another parish with a different name.
What Im interested in is their history, and how and when they became tenements availabel to the general population.

Welcome to Rootschat but where is Islandbridge?
-
The only one I can find is Island bridge (formally Sarah bridge) across the Liffey.Yes it's in Dublin,had British Army houses there apparently.

Sorry, - its in Dublin, Ireland.
I did find the same references to Sarah Bridge, and an old photo, - which is of the bridge right beside where these tenements were.
I will be in Dublin for a week beginning of June and will go to the city archives to see what I can dig up. Ive always found it so strange that this place seems to be non existent on the Web, though many people libed there for many years, and the location was eventually condemned by the Dublin Corporation on mid 1960's with a lot of the residents re housed in Arbour Hill, as St Bricins Park.
Thanks all,
regards
Willie

Thanks for confirming the location- will move this to Dublin board :)

Hi,Sarah place was listed as being in the new Kilmainham ward on the 1901 and 1911 census.It was in St James parish although that church is a distance away on the south side of the River Liffey,both are in the postal district of Dublin 8. Sarah place faced the phoenix park on Conyngham Road/Chapelizod road just before the turning to cross Island bridge(formerly Sarah Bridge).I have heard it said that the original buildings were soldiers houses(not cottages that I know of).I'm not sure at the moment when exactly they were built.There is an archive of old photos online too if I can find the link again.

There are several photos here in the RTE library
-
Thank you soooo much for that RTE link, - its terrific, - memory lane for me.
I did see the references in the Census, and actually knew one person listed in the Census at 9 years of age who was an old lady when I was a kid.
Regards
Willie
-
You are very welcome Glad it was of interest
This archive is a forgotten resource I think
-
Ive looked closely at the photos, - and Im quite sure my father, myself and my sister are in one, the one with a man and six children. He didnt own all the kids, - I have ordered a print to see it better, - but what a find if it is!
regards
Willie
-
I'm delighted that 'Myluck' found the link and that you enjoyed seeing the photos and then to find that photo.Great result for you.It certainly was a great community in times past, I would also recognise a lot of the surnames listed on both census.I'll bet you remember the expression 'Flag alley' too.

Hi Willie,
I have lots of family connections to Sarah Place and Islandbridge since 1875. Would there be any chance that your name might be Bailham and not Baneham. Who is the lady you remember from the census? There is a dearth of photographs on-line for Sarah Place, however I can share what family photos I have if they may be of interest to you.
Cheers

My grandparents John and Catherine Brady were listed as resident in Sarah Place in the 1911 census. My grandfather was ex RIC and I am trying to find the date of either of their deaths in order to locate their graves. I have requested cessation of pension date from Records Office Kew but so far unavailable. Any help would be appreciated.

Here are John & Catherine in the 1911 census-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/New_Kilmainham/Sarah_Place/58503
Have you searched the online civil registration index for their deaths? (goes up to 1958)

Hotlips
in your research about your grandparents may I question your details
are you sure they are the couple that lived in Sarah Place in 1911?
There is no reference to the RIC on this record which is often made
if not, are you sure that John BRADY was ex-RIC?
If you are not 100% sure that the Sarah Place couple are correct, have you looked at this family
John, Catherine and BRADY family on 1901 census (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003691121/) at 1.6 in Upper Dorset Street (Rotunda, Dublin)
Catherine BRADY and four children on 1911 census (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000092185/) at 5 in Allen Terrace (Arran Quay, Dublin)
The names of the children should correspond to your parent, aunts and uncles if correct.
This John BRADY ex RIC died Nov 29 1906 with a possible burial in Glasnevin
Catherine BRADY nee DEVEREUX died Dec 28 1916 also with a possible burial in Glasnevin
Apologies if a complete red herring
-
Thank you very much Aghadowey and My Luck .
The Sarah Place search appears to be incorrect but I was always told it was correct and that my uncle Patrick inherited ownership of property there and that it had a nickname (Bradys Brass Castle).
I am puzzled about this but the Allen Terrace and Upper Dorset Street appear to be correct.
Unfortunately Glasnevin records didn't throw up any information.
Thanks again.

There might be a Brady connection to Sarah Place but at a different date.

Thanks again Aghadowey and My Luck, your information has been invaluable and has directed me to my grandparents. Now I must carry on to find their burial place. I figure Glasnevin is the place so I will continue to search their records.
-
Had forgotten about the site, sorry. The lady I remember was Josie Eiffe (eef sounded like). I dont remember brady, but the name is baneham, and the house number 31. The census shows another family there way before us, and I belive we moved in there around 1950/51. I have confirmed also that the images on RTE are indeed of me and my Dad in his CIE uniform, and my sister.
I also saw in the Pearse Street library a map showing the location as a british army barracks and stables at one time, but nothing at all showing their conversion to tenement dwellings, who owned them, when they were condemned and demolished, etc. Strange. Its great to have the pics though.
I uploaded one image, I am the little kid facing to the right, my little sister behind me, and my dad looking at the camera, about 1954
-
what a find this website is my Nan was resident in Sarah Place in 1917
-
This from the Irish Independent newspaper of the 30th Dec 1916
“Brady-December 28 1916 at 3 Monck Place, Phibsboro: Catherine, relict of the late John Brady (ex R.I.C. Troop): deeply regretted by her sorrowing family. R.I.P. Funeral from Berkeley Street, R. C. Church after 10 o'clock Mass on to-morrow (Sunday). 31st inst., to Glasnevin.”

Hi, I have just come across this today by chance,and don't know if it is still current. My uncle,and then my father had the athletes rest pub in Sarah place. I have some great memories of my early childhood there,Mikey& Josie Eife, Joe & Mrs Curran who had the shop,also rolling the barrel of Guinness up the alley in the photo. We moved to Dundrum when Sarah place was knocked down,and I run the Dundrum house. I have a couple of photos of the athletes rest,which I think are from the forties but not sure.
-
Hi Rayners,
My family the Daniels lived in Sarah Place for a long time don't know if you remember the name or not??

Hot lips John Brady and Catherine Devereux are my family too. Where are you located?
-
Hi have just found this site, whilst searching for Sarah Place, fantastic to see pictures of how it used to be. I visited there this summer with my aunt, who remembered visiting
It is still called Sarah Place but different buildings
My gran, Christina Catherine Keogh (married name O'Grady)was born on 11 June 1903 at
25 Sarah Place, Island Bridge Dublin she had a few siblings including Mary Anne Keogh (married name O'Grady), her father was Michael, he was an army man, WW1 Her mother was Elizabeth.
I can't find any sign of them or Sarah Place on the 1911 Census
The Lee family also lived there, neighbours..possibly related
-
Sarah Place 1911
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/New_Kilmainham/Sarah_Place/
Have you checked births of later siblings to see if the family moved, even for a while.
Oh and Welcome to RootsChat
-
Thanks, I have searched several times, I'm pretty sure I've found the family living at Ushers Quay in 1901 census, which is before my gran was born. I have her birth certificate and it clearly states her birth and family address as Sarah Place and my aunt remembers visiting family there long after 1911 yet in the 1911 census I cannot find them. It was great to find images of Sarah Place on the RTE archive site via this site Will be sharing with the family :-)
-
People moved around a lot, I see several birth for siblings at 25 Sarah Place but also this one in 1912
Catherine at 3 O'Neills Court
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1912/01474/1600508.pdf
She looks like another sister does she fit with what you know of the family.
-
Also is this a sister, given that their mother was a Clarke

oh wow!! The niece will be my aunts mum, Mary Anne! While we were visiting Sarah Place in the summer she told me a story that her mum, Mary Anne had a fall while she was staying there and the cut got gangrene... and when her dad found out he brought her back to live with them..I think the rest of family had moved by then to James St, which is where my mum was born, so I think the grandparents and newly weds possibly lived together. I am trying to piecen all the pictures I have together to make a family history book for Christmas. So am now looking for archive images to set the scene. Very time consuming :-) but very interesting
You are very good at this!!
So just in case..Keogh siblings were b)1897 Eliza, b)1899 John b)1900-1993 Mary Anne b) 1903- 1974 Christina Catherine
-
Thank you so much, although I am now confused, because on that certificate it looks like the name of Mary Anne's mother is called Esther or similar, but the mother of my gran, Christina Catherine is definitely called Elizabeth Keogh (nee Clarke (b 1871)..
Although the DOB for Mary Anne is 1899 and I have it as about 1900 so that fits. I wonder if Mary Anne's mother died and then he married a sister and had my gran.. I guess it's time to look up the Clarke family and see if they had two daughters... or is it possibly just an error ? For now I have to get on with my image search, but thank you so much for the finds you have sent me and for enabling me to access sites I had not found :-)
-
I did notice the difference in the mother's name however John born 1900 Sarah Place also has the mother ad Esther
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1900/01986/1764918.pdf
She may have gone by both.

You refer to a child named Eliza born in 1897 - I haven't located her and also note that the 1911 census refers to the couple having had four children of which all were alive
-
Goodness! Thank you so much .. I now have the details of their wedding and the name of both of their fathers.. both John
Strange about the mother's name, but it does seem that it is the same person, I think I have seen Eliza being used for the mother sometimes too.. but it looks more like Esther.
For now though .. I can't thank you enough
-
Oh my!!! You guys are very very good! !!!!
I shall follow all the links and add more details to my tree. Feels like I have hit the jackpot...and thanks for the Keough heads up, probably explains my lack of progress. Thank you both very much
-
I wonder has Mary Anne been counted twice in 1911, it can happen, unless she has a cousin of the same name perhaps.
-
There is a Rosanna Clarke as witness to the marriage of Michael and Elizabeth, she appears to be Elizabeth's sister,
Marriage 1907 from 25 Sarah Place to Henry Lee
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1907/10090/5670769.pdf
or looking at the census maybe a cousin, all this 25 Sarah Place is confusing, they all seem to live there at some stage.
1901 25 Sarah Place
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/New_Kilmainham/Sarah_Place/1269417/
but at number 19 there is a Rosey Clarke
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/New_Kilmainham/Sarah_Place/1269406/
both father's are John Clarke.
Looking again the 25 Sarah Place John is too young to be Elizabeth's father.

Phew ..incredible .. my family tree is growing fast.. a lot to look into.
Thank you for making the Lee connection there, I visited the grave of MAry Anne and her husband in the summer and then i was shown another grave, of Lee family, who my relative knew were in some way related, and on the stone is written In Loving Memory of our mother Rosanna Lee, "25 Sarah Place, Island Bridge " Died 21st Dec 1965 .... We were not sure what the connection was, but you have just made it :-) Seems like they probably lived there until it was knocked down and rebuilt. It is very near Phoenix park and the river .
-
I can see Rosanna baptism, parent's as dathai has posted but this is a complex family so not entirely convinced she is Elizabeth's sister yet, but highly likely.

mmmm
need to see the original
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01l36/
St.James doesn't go up to 1879
https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0496
Edit,
This odd looking baptism is an earlier date than the birth cert. It is very common for baptism to be earlier than birth certs dates as people often fibbed on certs to avoid paying fine for late registration of births. Notice the birth wasn't registered until 13 May.
-
Rosanna 1881 ?
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01l37/
-
Blimey I have expanded my family tree by many today ..sadly .I cannot, quite make Rosanna Lee nee Clarke fit, she has a brother Patrick , and her father is John but the years don't fit with either of the John Clarkes in my tree (currently) So I don't think she is a sibling of Esther/Elizabeth But she is definitely related somehow! Seems to be a family thing adopting two names, my mum was both Sadie and Sarah and my sister also answers to two different names!
But for now I must temporarily ignore any further investigations and get back to making my family tree photo book....which for now is far more detailed So please don't think me rude if I don't respond to any more posts for a while. Thanks again everyone

Oh are you saying Patrick is a brother of Elizabeth and Rosanna?
Oh yes there was a Patrick on the Census as well as Rosey.
Sorry, bit slow me.
-
Thanks, I have searched several times, I'm pretty sure I've found the family living at Ushers Quay in 1901 census, which is before my gran was born.
I don't see a family that fits in Usher Quay in 1901.
The 1901 myluck found
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/New_Kilmainham/Sarah_Place/1269408/
Michael Keogh is born Louth and is a Green Grocer.
We didn't see Green Grocer or similar on any of the childrens births I think. (need to check that)
The 1911 Michael Keogh is born Dublin
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Usher_s_Quay/Hanbury_Lane/71909/
Needs a bit of checking.
-
her father was Michael, he was an army man, WW1 Her mother was Elizabeth.
Do you know if his army service records survives? It could have some useful information.
-
14 January 1864
-
Looks like he might have joined the Royal Innerskilling? Fuseliers in Dublin on or around 20 Oct 1882 I have a picture of him in uniform will try to attech
-
Are there any more pages, I was hoping there might be some family information, particularly his birthplace.
Also begs the question how do you know it's the correct Michael Keogh.
The photo is interesting, I think you should post it on the Armed Forces and the Photo Restoration boards.
The Armed Forces people would be able to tell quite a bit about the date from the Uniform and possibly the regiment from the cap badge on the younger man's cap, if I've picked up anything over the years here I think these are later WWI uniforms, the older man's uniform is I think a bit strange there is nothing on his cap and his buttons look plain, something not quite right about it to my eye, but I could be talking nonsense.
The photo restoration people would clean it up for you, get rid of all those marks.
-
Sadly no more pages, I found that doc on Ancestry, i followed a hint and was then linked to him by my cousin's partner. I think had also hit a dead end with the Keogh's The picture is definitely my mums grand dad because in her stuff, with other pix of him. Are there Armed forces pages here?
I am amazed by this site, but also very distracted I am trying to do a photo book for a family surprise, but it keeps expanding..
Found another one of him with medals
-
I have his dates as B 1864 D 1934
-
There are probably more pages but you would need a sub to Fold 3 to see them.
Lot of medals in the photo, again Armed Forces people could probably help put name to them although they would likely need a higher resolution scan
-
Hi Sorry..I'm back ...Have just had a closer look at the links posted earlier by Dathai (Reply no.39 I can't find a way of replying, linked to actual post ) Followed the links and found 2 similar but different ?marriage certs for a Clarke & Gaffney both 1878 both Sarah Place but different names and as one is in Latin I'm not entirely sure it is a wedding cert..but interested to hear if you think it is the same couple and if so , why the apparent difference in names?
-
The white one the Civil cert is the same as the one dathai posted.
The other is a Church record, that's why the first names are in Latin.
-
The church record
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633565#page/65/mode/1up
If you scroll across to the right you will see the witness names matching the civil cert but again first names are in Latin, plus the the date of June 2, it also confirms parents names as dathai found.
-
Aha My Latin is .. minimal So the names are the same Thankyou
-
Two posters, Willie Baneham and Rayners, mentioned the names of Mikey and Josie Eiffe. The Eiffes were living in the Park Place terrace at Islandbridge in the mid 1970s.
Would anybody be able to tell me about how old they were in the 70s? Would they have been elderly then?
-
A Michael Christopher Eiffe was born 1902 at 11 Sarah Place to Andrew Eiffe and Rosanne Anderson

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1903/01880/1731653.pdf
That's them then. I was thinking of trying to find the Eiffes to see if they remember my relative who (according to Thom's Directory) was their neighbour in Islandbridge in the 70s. You've saved me some wasted time, thank you!
-
Whats the neighbours name.
-
Re Athletes Rest. The Ryans owned it. If the person owning the pub in Dundrum could post some old pics that would be terrific.
-
When I was about 7, in 1957, they were quite elderly.
-
Whats the neighbours name.
Chrissie Gamble was my relative, and she shared a flat with Helen Supple. Both were young women in their twenties in 1972, who worked up the road at St Mary's Hospital. Chrissie unfortunately died in the flat accidentally, of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Sorry, - cant remember either of those names. There were almost all families living in the older Sarah Place, - which were tenements. Perhaps she was there in the seventies, when the new flats were built?
