89 Lower Baggot Street

Does anyone know what this address was used for in 1928? I have it on birth certificate but I know it wasn't the family's home - could it have been a nursing home?

In Thom's 1927 numbers 88 and 89 Baggot St Lwr are listed as Mrs Kennedy..

dont know if either of these might be connected but 4 doors down at 93 is a Private Nursing Home, matron Jane Torsney, and next door at 87 is Cyril J.N. Murphy, physician, also at 87 is a Mrs. Kate O. Kennedy

There  were one or two in the 1911 on Baggot street where "Letting Appartments" was the owners occupation.

Thanks for your replies. I do appreciate the 'look ups' you have done and it all helps to give background infomation when you are searching from a distance.

Hi
On my dads birth certificate (1931) this address is listed as the informant- and it’s the doctor who was present at the birth- the name is Hutchinson. It says my dad was born at 5 mount street crescent though which I presume must have been a nearby nursing home, as it wasn’t their family home.

Hi I started this original post. It was a while ago but with the answers I got on here I thought in all probability that the expectant mother in the family I was researching used this address whilst she had her baby, hence the address on the birth certificate. There seemed to be a grouping of medical people around there. Thanks for your post it seems to suggest the same thing to me.

Thank you hanes teulu  for that information. I've assumed that my person was staying in a house near to somewhere to have her baby but it is great to have the conformation that it was a nursing home.

How satisfying to have a query answered after 8 years!  I shall enjoy amending my write up and completing it properly.
