Dublin / Re: Dublin Workhouse 1890 & Ward's Cottages 1892 and 1895

Back to work FAST!!!!
To see when you next have a free min........ I didn't realise that about the '1 living' You learn something new all the time. Well I do.
I just found that Christina died in 1909 aged 13. All I find is children dying. Product of the times, I know, but still very sad
All the very best

In actual fact Bridget went on to marry my gt grandfather John Flood in 1910 and had seven children of her own. Passing away in 1955 aged 65.
Mary Ann never married. In her early twenties she was caught in crossfire, during the Easter Rising (1916) losing her leg. She herself would pass away in 1972 aged 80, although records show 66. At the time of her death she was living in Church St
Christina, I have yet to find details. But I'll keep looking
I'm not sure what was meant in the 1911 census - 3 children born, 1 living.
Bridget as I've said was alive and living in Beresford St with her husband John.

I see that now myself. So was Ward's Cottages/Church St any where near a workhouse and which one?
I see too that the Parish is St Michan's and yet Bridget was baptised in St Pauls

Hi Sinann,
Thank you. I never thought of that.
A poignant photo, to say the least.  I saw another of his showing Angle/Angel Court (off Beresford St) very sad and thought provoking
Thanks again

Dublin / Dublin Workhouse 1890 & Ward's Cottages 1892 and 1895

Can anyone help me with my gt grandmother who was born in a Dublin Workhouse

Bridget Reilly was born 29 Aug 1890 (birth register states 'in workhouse') to Mary Brady and George Reilly of 58 Church St. She was baptised 30 Aug 1890 in St Paul's.

What I would like to know is:
*Which 'workhouse' exactly would this have been?
*If her father's address is given (58 Church St) does that mean then that it was Bridget and her mother only in the workhouse?
*Is there a possibility that Bridget's parents were not married at the time of her birth? They went on to have two more children (not born in the workhouse)

The other two children, Mary Ann (born 29 Dec 1892 - 17 Wards Cottages) and Christina (born 26 Dec 1895 - 16 Wards Cottages) Can someone tell me where exactly and what were Wards Cottages

Any help at all will be greatly appreciated
Jacqui

Hi dawnsh
Thank you for getting back to me. I suppose what I really want to know is the exact dates they were there. But more specifically did they both leave together. I know John left his family (or he was put out) by 1921/22 but I don't know if this parting happened in Glasgow or Ireland
