Telephone directory 1950

[M Mary]

That's a mine of information. Thank you.

Re: 78, From 1930-late 60's that house number is missing from the Thom's directory. Will check more again.

LC, you maybe right re: the religious connection. Lots More digging to do next week. Will report back!

Does anyone know the house number MJ Gallaher moved from on Hollybrook road in 1939, (re: earlier comment on this thread about an add in the Thoms directory on same), to 78 Lr Drumcondra Road?

Kind regards,
M

hi, the hollybrook rd address was in the electors register but looks like that database is not available now..

hi all,
it looks like nurse Gallagher & others operated their nursing homes under their own name so they did not have to register a business name - maybe they were employed by the local authority after all...if they were, then presumably the records would belong to the local authority

any ideas about how to find out?  does Thom's have any other info?

They all seemed to be connected to the Rotunda Hospital in some way

hi
Martina mary - muriel & wm gallagher married 1931 Dublin..
persian - if connected to rotunda maybe they'd have the old records..was that in the advert?

They may have some records I never tried there.

hi Persian, have you tried other places? I tried the child & family agency but they had no info

[persian]

I phoned the HSE the girl who first answered the phone said they had the records. However when I said I would like to make an appointment to see the. I got a phone call from a person higher up who denied they had them
