As far as I'm aware there isn't a Blackrock in Limerick unless it's a tiny village. There are Blackrocks in Cork and Dublin, try those boards.

Have I missed something here Sharon ??? Where is the reference to Blackrock ???

All the Best, Chris

Hiya Sharon,

I am not certain about a hotelier being a gentleman. A gentleman was usually a person with a private income.
A hotelier would have been counted as someone who was in trade and would have been frowned upon by a gentleman. I would say you are one hundred percent correct in your assessment that the hotelier and livery stable proprietor were the same person.

By the way there is a place named Blackrock in Co. Louth. http://www.familysearch.org
shows a James Swinburne married at Bellingham, Co. Louth in 1862. However the same site says the guy was born in Wiltshire, England in 1848. I find it hard to believe that he married at the young age of fourteen.

All the Best, Chris

Thanks for that Chris, I didn't think that a Hotelier was a trade, being the boss, but we learn something new every day.

Hiya Sharon,

Many bosses in hotels work much longer hours than their employees...would you say that they were gentlemen of leisure ??? Why did the profession on the marriage certificate not say hotelier ???

All the Best, Chris
