Dublin / Re: Dublin Photographers

The name of the photographer has been cut off with a knife and the photo is actually upside down on the backing board so that the address is only partially visible.  On closer examination the "46" could be "16", "18""48" as only the top of the numerals are visible.  Henry Street is quite discernible and the name of the studio is in a typical flowing "curly" script which it is not possible to read as only the top of the capital letter at the beginning and a possible "L" or "H" as 3rd or 4th letter.

Very confusing I know.

Thanks to all who have replied with possible suggestions.

The photographer you're looking for is Bobs of 16 Henry St.  I have a family photo in a light frame with the details embossed on it, probably the same frame as you have.  Apparently only there from 1908 to 1916.  Have a look at the first search result at this link:

Dublin / Re: Dublin registry and Darcy
« on: Monday 06 January 14 21:01 GMT (UK)  »

On the 1901 census, assuming this is them, I see that James and Mary Anne were both born in Wicklow:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Wicklow/Wicklow_Town/Strand_Street_Lower/1817911/
(Tick the Show All Information box)

Then from a free search on www.rootsireland.ie I can see that a James Darcy ( with father James) married a Mary Anne Mooney (with father John) in Wicklow RC parish in County Wicklow in 1875.  Might be worth buying the full record and searching further for Mary Anne and James' births in the 1850s approx.

Dublin / Re: Long + Lowham 1700-1800s

Here's another reference to her death - see 3rd column, 3rd item from top in the original image:
http://www.teesdalemercuryarchive.org.uk/extra/pdfviewer/pdfviewer.php?date=1868-11-11&startpage=2

The text says:
"Saunders' News Letter says: " A woman named Anne Lowham, aged 107 years,-:died at Swords on
Thursday. She was born in 'the year 1761. She was the mother of five sons and three daughters. One of Her great-grand-children is now a constable in the metro-politan police." "

Saunders Newsletter was a Dublin newspaper. There are some copies in dublincity.ie archives but not covering 1868.

Also, there is an entry in the rootsireland.ie website for her death but no year specified, though age  given as 106.  It's in Dublin North section and is definitely in Swords Church of Ireland parish.  You have to buy credits to see any further details.

Dublin / Re: Samuel Alexander CLINDENIN- apothecary
« on: Monday 06 May 13 17:59 BST (UK)  »
A couple more interesting directory listings, both from Wilson's Directory:

Firstly 1820:
http://www.from-ireland.net/genealogy-article.php?page=24&ipp=50&title=1820-Dublin-Directory

Clindenin   Alexander;   Apothecary;      Harold's Cross
Clindenin   Samuel Alexander;   Apothecary;   31   Peter St.
Clindenin   Sarah;   Milliner   162   Gt. Britain St.

And from Wilson's 1801:
http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/dublin/directories/dublin-dir1801c.txt

CLINDENIN      Alexander
Apothecary                                       32     Peter Street
CLINDENIN      Jane
Milliner                                        165     gt Britain Street
CLINDENIN      William
Druggist                                         99     Upp Coombe

Was Samuel apprenticed to Alexander (his uncle?) in Peter St?

Dublin / Re: Phelan/Delaney

If you're ordering the marriage cert from the General Registry Office, it would seem worthwhile also to request this birth cert, which looks like the only obvious candidate for Rachel.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FBB3-943

Also, given the mother in the following is a Rachel Delaney in 1911 in Golden Lane, this could well be her family before her birth. You'll know if you see the father's name as Bernard on the marriage cert.
