Dublin / Re: Spring Garden Passage
« on: Tuesday 20 October 20 21:35 BST (UK)  »
Thank you all your information has been so helpful. 
From the records I have already my grandmother Rosanna Kelly lived at 7 Spring Garden Passage with her 3 children. At one time or another at least all her family lived in Spring Garden Passage.   At 6 Spring Garden Passage was her sister Ellen Heapes and her family at 9 Spring Garden Passage was my Great Grand parents Rosanna and James Browne Rosanna's brother James and her uncle John plus a daughter and her family.  On another record was my Nan's brother James and his family.  All my nan's sisters lived at 9 Spring Garden passage before they married from the descriptions so far number 9 must have been the Tardis.

I am not on face book but my brother is going to look on the blog for the Ballybough/Fairview area.  I have looked on a blog called school around the corner and found that my paternal grandfather went to the East Wall school in 1912. So the face book pages look to be a good idea for further information.
The maps are fantastic they give me a clear picture to where Spring Garden Passage was.   Also the maps show the surrounding streets giving me an idea where other of my ancestors lived and how close they were to each other! thank you for all your help.

Dublin / Spring Garden Passage
« on: Monday 28 September 20 21:23 BST (UK)  »
My paternal grandmother Rosanna Browne Kelly lived in Spring Garden Passage from at least 1918 (apart from a short time in the mid to 1920's) until I think 1968-when the cottage she lived in was demolished. Her mother Rosanna Browne father James Browne and brother James Day and other family also lived in Spring Garden Passage.  I stayed at my Grandmother's cottage for a holiday in 1965 when I was 7 and I have fond memories of my time there.  My dad spoke about his childhood and early adult life home  but I would like to find out more about the cottages and the local area. My family research has shown that my paternal family lived in and around this area.  Any information will be welcome including when the cottages were demolished.  My Grandmother came to live in London but I cannot remember the year.

Laois (Queens) / Re: Esther Hargroves born between 1850-1856 in Maryborough

UPDATE:
I have found birth records for children of Richard Hargroves and Anne McAvoy : Catherine 1830, Joseph 1832, Richard 1836 and Michael 1838 all in RC records
My great grand mother Esther's religion in the census was Church Presbyterian in 1901 and Church of Ireland 1911.  She married Christopher Dowling in 1885 in a registry office in Dublin and they lived in Ushers Quay Dublin.
I have also found a marriage record for John Hargroves  born about 1849 his father was Richard and his religion was Church of Ireland according to 1901 census three of his children are living  in Ushers Quay I'm thinking they could be related to Esther
There is another marriage record for Elizabeth Hargroves born about 1853 who married William Cox in Dublin in 1876 again her father is Richard and he is a steward.
I can find no Church of Ireland birth records for John, Elizabeth or Esther.  I read somewhere that all Church of Ireland records were destroyed in the war of independence is this true? can anyone help me find where I can find the records if they are available.
Sorry for long post Cat

thanks for the help
I think I've found Michael Hargroves and Mary Hargroves (nee Dowling) in the 1901 census I want to find out if Mary is related to my Great Grandfather Christopher any help will be appreciated I don't have his baptism record in the census record his date of birth is 1852 on the marriage certificate  his father was a Michael.  In the census record it says Christopher was born in Portarlington. 
Both Esther and Christopher were married in Dublin and they give a Dublin address so I am assuming they were living in Dublin at least from 1885 the year of their marriage.  From the censuses and from what my mother has told me they were in the Usher Quays area of Dublin until the late 1930's.   :) ;)

Thank you Gaffy  are Catherine and Michael Presbyterian? could you send me the link to look at the baptism record please?  I thought if one parent was a catholic then all the children were brought up as catholic?
 You have given me a link to the Dowling family from the census Christopher Dowling Esther's husband was born in Portarlington  I don't have his baptism record but maybe Mary Dowling and Christopher Dowling are related  :)

Thank you for your replies to my message  :) 

I have Esther's marriage certificate to Christopher Dowling her father was Richard he was a labourer but was deceased.  Their son was my grandfather also a Christopher they had two other children Elizabeth and Margaret their two elder children another child called Christopher and Kathleen both died young.  From my grandfather's employment record it states his mother was his next of kin in 1919 and that she was 70.  I have also looked at the census records for 1901 and 1911 which say she was born between 1856-58 so I have been looking for records between these dates.  Also the census say she for her religion she was a Presbyterian and church of Ireland.  But I can't find any church records for her birth.
