Hiya Kathie,

I'm surprised that you've not received any replies as you've posted a lot of information. Did John and Bridget marry around 1920 or slightly later?

I presume you are attempting to discover more about your grandparents ... the names of their parents and the names of their siblings. You know that your grand dad had a sister but were there any other siblings? You make no mention of what he did for a living so I'm wondering whether he bought the Basin Lane properties or whether he inherited them.

I can't find Basin Lane but Bulfin Gardens runs parallel to Bulfin Road at Kilmainham. It's between Emmet Road and Bulfin Road.

Thanks Anne,

Kathie's message here mentioned nothing about her grand dad being in the army. It's not easy to follow the thread when you get bits and pieces of information all over the place. I think he must have inherited the houses in Basin Lane as a soldier's wage wouldn't have paid for too many particularly as he and Bridget had a large family to rear.

Chris.
