Title: 50 Middle Abbey Street Dublin
Post by: TConlan on Sunday 21 May 17 21:18 BST (UK)

Hi 

I'm trying to locate who was living ar 50 Middle Abbey Street Dublin in 1932 and whether it was a residential address  ?

Would anyone be able to help or point me in the right direction ?

Many thanks

 :)

It's more likely Middle Abbey Street. It's in the city centre, off O'Connell Street.
An email to the nice folks upstairs in Pearse street library will often get a response.

They have a huge collection of Thom's directories.

I found a roundabout way to look at one of the online copies.
50  Middle Abbey Street 1932 lists Miss M. Cruice, St. Patrick's Guild.

More on her: http://www.adoptionrightsalliance.com/spg.htm

That's great

Thank you so much

The name I'm looking for is Esmonde-White ?

My 'hack' to get into the directory is a bit complicated. I'll see can I get at the index tomorrow.

**edit
Had a quick try.
No Esmonde-White that I can see.
Esmonde,
Miss A., 1 St. Joseph's terrace, Sandford Road, Pembroke
Mrs. Mary, 4 Garfield terrace, Rathgar

One woman was proceeding to Mrs.Esmonde White, secretary of the ICPRS. The remaining eleven women
were going to 50, Middle Abbey Street, Dublin to Mary Josephine Cruice, and these must have been included in the reported thirty cases of women sent to her up to May 1941.

Hi @Dublin1850

I see this thread about 50 Lower Abbey Street. This is the address my mothers mother was at in 1949 when my mum was born.

Do you know what it was ?

1932: 50 Middle Abbey Street: St. Patrick's Guild.  Miss M. Cruice, Hon Secretary.

Quotation from Directory: 'The guild of St. Patrick attends to all cases of infant distress and where necessary adopts destitute children.  Free medical treatment is given at the dispensary, under the charge of a competent qualified physician who is assisted by a trained nurse.  Poor mothers are helped in various ways.  No case is ever turned away without some attempt being made to give assistance.'

Miss Cruice and the Guild continued at that address until 1963, when the Guild was taken over by the Irish Sisters of Charity.  The building was demolished and re-built for the Irish Sisters of Charity in 1967.

You could contact the Irish Sisters of Charity to see whether they hold the records of the Guild - e-mail archives@rsccaritas.com
