Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Bayview Terrace, Derry

Ive  spoken to a local Historian who is in his 80s and of very sharp and sound mind and he suggested that the Rock Road may have been from A geographical rock formation in that area.
He is not aware of your Doctor Rock but confirmed my knowledge that the Eye and Ear Hospital was on the Northland Road and as mentioned in my earlier post, the building still stands in the same location.

The Eye and Ear Hospital building is still in place on the Northland Road next time I'm passing I'll take a picture and of Bayview Terrace
I'll ask another local historian where the name for Rock Road came from
Best regards

Hi Gerrycass, being born near Eglinton. I am very familiar with the area, there is a Catholic Church very near to Eglinton called St Mary's Star of the sea. I have in the past gotten certificates from the very helpful secretary there. They also have BMD records for another Catholic Church in the parish which is now demolished called Mullaboy which still has a graveyard.
It's more than likely the child is buried in one of these Cemetries but it's not
Unlikely it might be interred in Derry/Londonderry city cemetery
The district nurse/ Midwife in Eglinton from the late 30s was Nurse Martha McDaid who lived in the village. She would have attended births in the home. I have not heard of a Sutherland in the village which means it may have been a medical person in the local Hospital  called the City and county Hospital Infirmary Road in the City.  Good luck in your search it's very worthwhile.

Dublin / Re: Lynch family - Emmet Road, Inchicore 1930's/1940's

Hi Dathai, I finally went back to Glasnevin this week and spoke with the lovely and helpful Lynn who gave me a printout of all interred in the Lynch Family grave for 8 euro of course, for which i was delighted to have  its packed with vital info.
I also went to where the Family lived after Lavina returned to Dublin it is in Temple Crescent Blackrock.
it was strange seeing it for the first time and my research told me that there was a name on the gate which reads "Warriwee" this confirmed the correct house,
sadly I have not been able to contact any of John and Lavina's three children whom I met at least twice. they were born in the 1930s i understand.
they may be dead I don't know. I am aware that R Chat don't allow info on living relatives.
best regards
Gerald
