Great to see the Broomville location. Weve, driven past that several times but neve knew about it.

I believe that Mrs Margaret Paul was Margaret Low from Scotland I believe born near Aberdeen. She had something to do with the Botanic Gardens in Dublin but it has been some time since I researched her.

The area around the Regency Hotel was  known as the "GARDEN FARM".  It was landscaped by Niven (1799-1879/Scotland) Secretary of the Royal Horticulture Society of Ireland, and was curator of the "Botanic Gardens" located  about a mile away from "GARDEN FARM". Experiments were carried out in the GARDEN FARM to extract Sugar from Sugar BEET. This was ahead  of it's time as the process was not practice till about 70 years later.

The next owner was Robert Paul the Director of  "Paul &Vincent" Iron work company in Blackhall Street Dublin. The Family was from West Meath and were Presbyterian. The Paul family flourished and and they designed an Italianate Villa  on 13 Acres of land with ornamental gardens. The estate passed onto the Cuddy Family around the 1920's and they renamed it St.Annes (not to be confused with the massive Guinness Estate located in near by Clontarf).

Yes Its coming back to me Paul and Vincent made farm impliments.
Michael Cuddy rings a bell as taking over from the Paul Family.

You have now sent me on a quest for a copy of that book but it looks as rare as hen's teeth

Hi CPH

Yes I research genealogy and its strange that Gerry is one of my brick walls and him being my father in Law it does not make sense.

I spend 2 years in Dublin back in 1995,Spent a lot of time watching them film Michael Collins (stilla great movie) but at that time I did not think that I would have problems with Gerry, so only reserched earlier lines.
Unfortunately when Joe passed away so did all his knowledge, although  when visited he was having problems remembering and got a lot of things mixed up.

The results of one of my other lines of research can be seen at www.fighterboy.org.uk

Hi

The only other suggestion is that you advertise

i)   Marino Church (St Vicinet De Paul) monthly News Letter
    sent out to everyone in the parish
 
ii)  Evening Hearld (NewsPaper)

iii) North Side Paper (Free Circular Mag)


for 1) + 3) would sent use a photo + text

for 2) just text (charge per word)

You prob best give a po box or postal address  if some one is in their  70's or
80's they wont have email.
