Thanks for the reply

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

Dublin / A question about railway workers in Dublin in the late 1800's

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
