Dublin / Re: 50 Middle Abbey Road Dublin
« on: Sunday 21 May 17 21:51 BST (UK)  »
I found a roundabout way to look at one of the online copies.
50  Middle Abbey Street 1932 lists Miss M. Cruice, St. Patrick's Guild.

More on her: http://www.adoptionrightsalliance.com/spg.htm

It's more likely Middle Abbey Street. It's in the city centre, off O'Connell Street.
An email to the nice folks upstairs in Pearse street library will often get a response.

They have a huge collection of Thom's directories.

Quote from: Mary Geraghty on Wednesday 08 June 16 23:13 BST (UK)
Ó CATHASAIGH, Séamus ( c.1864–1919)   Cuid a haon.  Part 1. Literal translation. No time to convert to 'proper English'

 Caitlín  lived at 76 ??? Lake Street, The Briars/Brambles????.



loch in 76 Sráid loch, na Driseoige, is probably Íocht.
I believe it should translate as Lower Dorset St. Your guess is as good as mine where they got Driseoige from.

Dublin / Re: Nora Walsh

The two most likely (i.e. closest) parishes are St. Agatha's, North William Street, Dublin 1 and St. Laurence O'Toole's, Seville place, Dublin 1.
Records from both of them are online at http://www.nli.ie but only go as far as 1881. Both parishes are still in operation.
A nice letter with a small donation to both churches might elicit a photocopy of the records.

Can confirm Roo-ann as the pronunciation here.

Given the shape of the first letter and that of 'Labourer', I think it's Lester.

Had I just seen the surname, I would have guessed Coster, but the first letter is very similar to that written in labourer.

If it's Dublin, the Lying-in hospital is the Rotunda. Still in business, the oldest maternity hospital in the world.

**edit, oops I see your McAuleys are Antrim. The Belfast Lying-in Hospital became part of what is now the Royal Maternity Hospital in 1903.

Charlotte 25 Oct 1852 - Larceny, one month.

Frederick 6 Jan 1846 - Larceny, 'No Bill' (I don't know what that means, but others have 'Not guilty' written beside them. He is not the only one with 'No bill'.)

Frederick 31 Dec 1850 - Larceny, 8 months.
