Thanks for that Eadaoin.
I take your point and yes, you're right, terrace would have a capitol "T" and so it is likely to be one word.
Is it OK to attach the full marriage record just for handwriting recognition. It's really not easy to read but might help in comparing letters in various words.
One of the few words which is reasonably legible is "Fairview" and the Rev. Philip Carberry was a curate in Fairview at that time and living next door to the church.
The address "The Tap" also has me really puzzled. Because it appears on both the marriage record and the later baptismal record for their son James in 1880 so I'd be reasonably sure it is in the Clontarf/Fairview parish area and isn't connected to The Tap pub which still exists and is on the corner of Church Street/Nth King St. If Anne was living in Church Street the marriage and later baptism would probably have been in St Michans or St Pauls parishes.
Thanks for all your help
Cheers
Phil
