St Clares Park Sandymount Dublin

[nicknobbyclark]

Greetings to all

I'm new here and wondered if anyone on the forum could help me?

On my Father's 1924 birth certificate it shows 4 St Clares Park Sandymount but so far I have had no luck in finding this location?

The street doesn't exist so maybe a house name?

Any help/advise appreciated.

A preliminary search of Thoms 1923 and 1929 does not reveal a St.Clares Park in the Sandymount area.
Before I look further afield,please confirm  that St. Clares Park is correct.

The old map of Dublin shows that Clare St and Park St (now called Lincoln Place) meet. Could it be somewhere around there I wonder?

Could be  but highly unlikely anyone would term that area Sandymount...I would imagine if the Sandymount part of the address is correct its a house name

I think I've seen this query before - on a Dublin.ie board ?

I had a look through various maps and editions of Thom's and saw no mention of a Clare's park in the Sandymount area.

At the top of the cert there are several details that can help to narrow down the location - district, registrars sub-district etc could you post the details of these ?

Is the writing clear on the cert ? ...another option might be to post a scan of a small portion of the cert containing the address..

Could be a house on Park Avenue if its Sandymount ? or St Clare's Avenue is near Harolds Cross stadium ?... St Albans or St.Johns in Sandymount today.....

that sound's like an possible option - maybe the cert is missing a comma, and the address is something like

  St Clare's, Park Avenue, Sandymount

First of all many thanks to everyone who has answered my first post so promptly

I have attached a copy of my Father's birth certificate and it seems '4 St Clares Park, Sandymount' is clearly written.

Yes Shane I have also posted this on a Dublin.ie board but now quite desperate to find out where the location of St Clare's Park is. I am beginning to believe this may have been a house too. I do know my father came from a very poor family so maybe this could be factor?

On the top left of the birth certificate it looks like 'births registered in the district of donnybrook no 21' has been written. Would this district hold any clues?

I am living in Nottingham so a visit to Dublin isn't possible at the present time so any help greatly appreciated.

Moderator comment: only small portions of certificates may be posted.  Cropped to show the district and address

It certainly looks like '4 St. Clares Park'  - three times...

I'll see if the sub district of Donnybrook no. 2 narrows down the area..

The cert appears to be a transcript from around the time of the birth.. it might be an idea to order a research cert from the GRO to compare against. These are photocopies/scans of the actual register - so would show the original entry details.

these seem to be his index details from familysearch :

 Name: William Thomas Clarke
 Registration district: Dublin South
 Record type: Birth
 quarter and year: Jul - Sep 1924
 Volume: 2 / Page: 421
