Hello,
Doing some research it seems that my great great grandfather worked on the railways and lived most of his life around the Talbot St/Connolly Station area which makes sense. The thing is, he got married in Glasthule in 1887 but I'm not sure why. The address written for his wife is difficult to read and I have attached it - I have an idea what and where it is but don't want to influence anyone who tries to decipher it. Could it be that because he was a railway worker, he could have brought the family for a free day out of the grime and smog of the city to Kingstown? Would that have been a done thing back then? Thanks

Welcome to RootsChat :)
Can you take a larger snip from the record, please? It's always a good idea to clip a little more of the page than just the word/words you need, to be able to compare letter formation etc.

Since my previous post I've actually found that he was born in Glasthule so that solves that. I'd still like to figure out the address if I could though

It looks vaguely like "Tuohys/Touhys Cottages"?

Marriages are usually held in the bride's parish though sometimes they could get special permission to marry in another parish.
if it's Leary's Cottages you are thinking both James Patchel and John Evan's baptised their children on Irish Genealogy Church records using that address

Could it be Long's Cottages? I looked at the 1901 census and there is a Long's Lane in and around the area. The priest might have got confused when he recorded the groom's address as Rutland Cottages then called Long's Lane cottages in error. Just an idea.

Long's cottages were in Dun Laoghaire (Kingstown).

Glasthule Church would have been local.
Round the corner from Glasthule railway station nowadays and not a million miles from Dun Laoghaire Station too.

1876 according to the church record James Lawlor lives in Glasthule
