Hollyfield Buidings Tenement Tracing Project 1920-1939 (or prior)

[missingmccabe]

There are a lot of inquiries into the Hollyfield Buildings Tenements located in Rathmines on differnet sites.  My family resided there and I have had difficulty tracing them through 1920-1936.  I was wondering and hoping people would be interested in posting the Hollyfield number address, year, an the family name and maybe a first name or two (if known to be deceased).  Since the Irish Archives only has the last name of the renter, how many residents, and the cost of the rental, I have found it difficult to trace this tenement.  There was also limited or no listings in the directories for tenement dwellers during this time period.  I hope this is an acceptable project.  I am starting with my family information.

I did some research some years back on 'The Lady Hogan' from Hollyfield buildings for a relative of his, I was told that he was once a servant/valet to the late Ulick O'Connors father in the Rathmines/Rathgar area, I believe he was also a member of the Rathmines theatrical group and was well known in the general area, I did discover that if my memory serves me right, that he died at relatives home in the 1950s (I passed all this info on)
