Patrick Behan/Mary Behan nee Dolan Townsend St.
« on: Monday 13 January 14 21:58 GMT (UK) »
Looking for any info on Patrick and Mary or Descendant's, Please.
Info I have to date.
It seems the Behan and Dolan families may have lived in Townsend St area all their live's.

Im 99% sure I have Patrick with family in 1901/1911 census aged 12-23yrs, his father Patrick a coal labourer his Mother Rose Anne nee O'Brien... (church record of a child born to them)

Patrick jnr was born circa 1889 in Dublin.
He married Mary Dolan im guessing somtime between 1911 and 1918 when his eldest child Margaret was born.
They went on to have 4 children.
Sadly both Patrick and Mary were believed to have died circa 1924 after the birth of last child.
The children then reared by Grandparents.

Looking for any records pertaining to Patrick and Mary or their children if possible.

For reference here are the links for census records-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/Trinity/Townsend_Street/1311957
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Trinity_Ward/Townsend_Street/85347

Taking the 1901 and 1911 census plus the baptisms I posted earlier there are 12 children (with three like dead before 1911) which fits details in 1911 census-
1.   John (1881)
2.   Lizzie (1883)
3.   James (1885-died before 1894)
4.   Maria (1888-died before 1901?)
5.   Patrick (c1889)
6.   Michael (1891)
7.   James (1894)
8.   Maryanne/Mary Anne (1896)
9.   Thomas (1898-died before 1901?)
10.   Margaret/Maggie (1899)
11.   William (c1902)
12.   Christopher (c1905)
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

There seems to be a reference in the Freemans Journal 1880 from the sanitary inspector declaring that Shoe Lane is unfit for human habitation,cant read full article as its on a pay per view site.
Tara St was developed as a new St in 1885 replacing Shoe Lane part of which was called Stocking Lane and Georges St.

Places of birth on that census dont tally with the births in Dublin.
