Dublin United Transport Company - DUTC

[AMN]

My grandfather Michael Nolan from the years 1890 to 1901 had an occupation shown on various marriage, birth, census and death records as Coachman and Tram Driver mainly in the Dalkey area. By 1901 his occupation (on a birth certificate of one of his sons) was shown as Historian DUTC. Does anyone know of any information relating to what a Historian DTUC would have done and is there any records, books that will give any further information?

Hi Tara

Yes I have seen that site but nothing appears to cover the years I am interested in, unless I have missed something.

I recall some years ago writing to C I E for info but as far as i can remember they said  there were no records of staff for the D U T C. all i have is his cap badge and number.
I would be interested to know if you contact any of the links posted of the outcome.
