Have had no luck determining the location of Sinnott's Lane in Wexford - can anyone assist?
Thanks.

There is a Sinnottslane in the townland of Sinnottstown.

Ah, yes, but I mean Wexford town.

I see its in Wexford Urban No.2 on the Census.
I can see a Sinnott's Place in that area (I think) which isn't on the census wonder if it could be the same place.
-
What is now Oyster lane, leading to Sinnott place, used to be part of Sinnott place, which was L shaped, according to old OSI maps. It's quite possible it was known as Sinnott lane.

Could this reference to it help in anyway :-\ https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=L51ODwAAQBAJ&pg=PT51&dq=Sinnott%27s+Lane,+Wexford&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjQue7XkaTgAhXWUhUIHc4BDW4Q6AEIMTAB#v=onepage&q=Sinnott's%20Lane%2C%20Wexford&f=false

Nicky Rossiter has published many beautiful and use books on Wexford. I am sure you are correct and the answer is in that one, or one of his other works. It is just that I am 5,500 miles away from my collection right now!

Ah, now that is very useful. Now I know roughly where it is, using the info on the abstracts at start of every townland or street, in this case
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai001300123/ (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai001300123/)
- ays it is off South Main St. in a tiny urban civil parish.
-
Given the tiny, tiny, extent of St. Doologue's civil parish, it pretty much has to be Oyster Lane/Sinnott's Place, as suggested by Dublin1850, or the equivalent lane to the west of South Main St.
Thanks again to all.

There seems to be quite a difference between the Modern and 25" Map on Geo Hive and Google Maps to the position of Oyster Lane.
I couldn't understand why it had been mentioned as I was looking at Geo Hive.
On Geo Hive Oyster Lane is where Google Maps gives Peter St and Harper's Lane
http://map.geohive.ie/
If you go on to street view Google Maps is correct with Peter's St., there is a sign on the wall.
I'm getting more confused the more I look at it.
I was trying to follow some of the family's living on Sinnott's Lane in the Census and Bride's St seem to pop up quite a bit (if I remember correctly) and Bride St appears on Google Maps to where Geo Hive have Sinnott Place.
Me head is wrecked ;D
-
I've got that wrong, on the Eir Code finder Oyster lane is between Sinnott Place and Harper's Lane.
https://finder.eircode.ie/#/
Sinnott Place isn't marked on the map but they have the address and will bring you to the spot in the map view
-
Having another look at google maps, where Geo Hive and Eir Code have Oyster Lane isn't marked on Google Maps, however using street view the ESB has it marked http://www.rootschat.com/links/01nco/

You are correct. That is, they disagree.
POerhaps you could tell Google to take down the fake info?

Personally, I would be interested to learn how and what they respond, if at all.

I got an automated Thank you straight off which says
"We'll let you know once the changes are published."
so we'll wait and see

As an aside, I wonder how close St. Doologue's is to being the smallest civil parish in the country? The entire parish can't be more than a few hundred meters wide, and contains just a few lanes and part of one street. In fact, the parish is considerably smaller than most rural townlands.
-
I got two emails today saying the changes will be made but may take 24 hours to show on the online map,
just checked and the place they had Oyster Lane is changed to Stonebridge Lane, extending the name of the lane already named further from Sinnott Place to South Main St. (I've no idea if that is correct) but Oyster Lane hasn't been added yet.
