Dear Bob, thank you so much for all that information.  I have often read your posts online re the Frewen family.  I wonder if I will able to trace back the line.  There are so many conflicting stories in the family in relation to their religion.  My greatgrandmother (Maria Frewen) was Catholic, but one of her grandsons told me that she was from a Heugenot family, went to church in St. Patrick's Cathedral and taught them all Protestant hymns.  Yet, Frewen is not a Heugenot name but they did have relatives who did have a Heugenot name (Blanchfield)...but these Blanchfields were also Catholics !!  I might never get to the end of it Bob, but you have certainly given me enough information there to keep me busy for a while !!

Thanks Dathai..I found Lucy Fruen and bought her burial record around 3.30pm lol.  Unfortunately, it only records her address (5 Wood Street) ..I was hoping it would include details maybe of her next of kin...But at least I know this is definitely my ggg grandmother, so the next time I am in Glasnevin I will have a look for the grave.  No sign of her husband William being buried there at the moment, but I haven't exhausted all the search options for him yet.  Thanks a million.

Hallmark, in relation to the information on the Lucy Frewens - this is what I have come up with from the Irish Genealogy website.  Baby Lucy Frewen (daughter of William & Maria) born 1877 and died 1878.  This is definitely my greatgrandmother's sister.  The Lucy Frewen who died in 1873 aged 48, this is the lady whose death cert I wish to get (I live quite close to the GRO so its actually faster for me to go there, rather than apply for it online, but I have been aware of their online facility for quite some time).  I wish the death cert gave females maiden name if they were married, but that would be too good to be true.  I am hoping she may be my elusive 3 x great grandmother.  The other Lucy Frewen listed who died in 1928...she may possibly be related....perhaps I will never know...as I seem to be hitting a brick wall with these Frewens.

The Frewen family seem to be based in Limerick and Tipperary, but to date I have found no link with my Dublin Frewens !  Again, thank you for taking the time to help.  I'll keep you posted.

Dear Hallmark, thank you very much for all the trouble you have gone to on my behalf.  I think we might have been at cross purposes.  My original enquiry was about my greatgrandfather William Frewens parents - William and Lucy Frewen, as I have traced the children of William & Maria (Bishop) Frewen
I found the original PARISH marriage register on the Church Records of Irish Genealogy for the wedding of their son William (my greatgrandfather) to Maria Bishop.  This register was the only reference I have found anywhere in my searches for William's (my ggf) parents - William and Lucy.  It is this couple I am now trying to trace. I think  your link was to the CIVIL marriage cert which does indeed state that William's father was deceased at the time of the marriage.

Omitted to say Father deceased!

Have you looked for Death of father?

Help if one posts Links to things they found!

Thank you Hallmark.  I didn't realise William's father was deceased at the time of the marriage...was this on the original parish record ? I have looked for his death but have drawn a blank.   
Unfortunately, I am not very computer literate so unable to put up links, but I did say I found the information on Irish Genealogy.
Thank you for the information on Lucy Frewen.  I think this may be a good lead, but I need to visit the GRO in order to find this death cert..so fingers crossed.

Its been a while now since I last looked at this side of the family.  To date I have discovered my gggrandfather William Frewen married Maria Bishop on 29/1871 (no helped by the fact that his surname has been recorded as Finen, Fruen and Fruin !!).  They had six children..Lucy born 1877 died 1878, John Joseph born 1872 died 1878, William born 1884 died 1945, Maria born 1878 died 1964, Julia born 1888 died 1931 and Frederick born 1885 died 1902.  All on Irish Genealogy.

I found the marriage for William Frewen & Maria Bishop and his father and mother are both listed.  They were William & Lucy Frewen and were living at 5 Wood Street.  William (their son) was listed as living at 5 Burkes Cottages on the marriage cert.  Would this have been normal, the fact that he was not living at the same place as his parents.  He was living at the same address as the two witness to the marriage - John and Agnes Bishop.  I actually have a photo of this Agnes Bishop which is great, but no other information on her.

I have really hit a blank wall with William & Lucy Frewen so any help at all would be great.

Thanks everyone for replying.  Eadaoin, my granddad's dad was Church of Ireland and the record I checked did say that the school was CofI, but my granddad was definitely Catholic !  In relation to the other schools in the area, both my mother and myself went to Kings Inns St, but I never heard that my granddad did.  The current Mount Carmel Secondary School building was erected in 1942, and they used to share the school building with St. Mary's Primary School,  before St. Mary's moved to St. Mary's Place in the late nineteen seventies.

Thanks MyLuck, I don't think that's the one.  The school in St. Mary's Place is a relatively new building which was erected in the late nineteen seventies.  My mother thinks her dad went to Strand Street School, but I can't find out if that used to be called St. Mary's

Thanks to Findmypast, I have found my grandfather Albert Jenkins name on the school register of St. Mary's School in 1921.  He was living in 13 Mary's Abbey, Dublin at the time.  Not sure if Mary's Abbey is  Dublin 1 or Dublin 7.   Does anyone know where this school was/is ?  Thank you.
