Seeking Richmond near Dublin

[ggw42]

Hi,
I found a reference  in an 1827 document to some relatives "ANN BLACK, spouse of Iver McIver residing at Richmond near Dublin, and Janet Black residing there" but I have been unable to locate this Richmond near Dublin. I did a Google search but only came up with a few other queries asking the same question or mentioning people who came from there too. If anyone has any idea, please let me know.

There is a Richmond Street in north central city of Dublin... I know only of this reference.  It was location of former Richmond Hospital.

Richmond is/was indeed near Fairview.

It is a townland in the parish of Clonturk; the parish is now generally known as Drumcondra.

The townland is bounded by:
in the S, the River Tolka - Richmond Road is within the townland, roughly parallel to the Tolka;
in the W, Grace Park Road;
in N & NE, by Grace Park Terrace & (approx) Annadale Drive;
in the E, vaguely approx by Richmond Avenue, Inverness Road, Foyle Road.

looks like Richmond was a district in the 1820s - these are from Pigot's 1824, the address for these entries just had Richmond - no street or number, and one mentions Richmond House :

(Dublin city nobility & gentry section)

Edward Hughes, esq, Richmond
Rev. Hugh Moore, Richmond
Sir James Riddell, Richmond House
W.B. Sutton esq, Richmond
Robert Tomlinson esq, Richmond

theres also a Richmond Street, avenue and place

the section on the Royal Canal mentions '..Boats from the Royal Canal Harbour, to Richmond, through Clonsilla, Rye-Aqueduct, Maynooth, and all places intervening every other day...'

Thank you very much everyone, I have been looking for this information for years with no luck. Without knowing the place I didn't know where to look for information on the family. I still don't, I suppose, but at least I now have a starting point which I didn't have before.
The map is a great help as it the area description. Thanks too to JJ, that BELL site is definitely run by relatives and I hadn't come across it before. Hopefully I can pay you all back at some time in the future.

If anyone wants to continue with the subject of Anne Agnes Black and Iver McIver, I would like to hear from you.  My great great grandfather was their grandson.  His name was Alexander MacDonnell and his mother was Catharine McIver who married William MacDonnell (in the Printing Industry?) of Dublin.  If anyone has any information that would shed some light on William MacDonnell I would love to hear from you.  We are the Australian branch of the tree.  I information that when William MacDonnell died, Catharine remarried again to someone named Nealand.  Does anyone know when William MacDonnell died.

Hope to hear from you.
